Sammy Davis Jr.
The Candy Man
Sammy Davis Jr.
Candy Man, Hey Candy Man
Everybody gather around and listen because,
I'm the Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in the sky
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man

Aubrey Woods performed this in the 1971 movie Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder, but the original hit version was by Sammy Davis Jr in 1972.

It was Sammy Davis Jr, from the movie Willie Wonka & The Chocolate factory, the original one in 1972, not the Johnny Depp one. Thanks, gag me with this song now its in my head for the rest of the day probably!

candyman was also a song from the mid-sixties, sung by Donovan (Donovan Leitch)........."I'd give anything in this god-a-money world to bring my candyman home...."
Even if it's not the one you need, give it a listen, it's a great song!! Donovan is a much under-rated singer-songwriter, famous for "Mellow Yellow" and Jennifer juniper" and many others.
