Come all you pretty women
With your hair hanging down
Open up your windows 'cause
The Candyman's in town
Come on, boys, and gamble
Roll those laughing bones
Seven come eleven, boys
I'll take your money home
Look out
Look out
The Candyman
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the Candyman
Come 'round again
I come in from Memphis
Where I learned to take the jive
When I get back to Memphis
Be one less man alive
Good mornin', Mr. Benson
I see you're doin' well
If I had me a shotgun
I'd blow you straight to Hell
Look out
Look out
The Candyman
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the Candyman
Come 'round again
Come on, boys, and wager
If you have got the mind
If you got a dollar, boys
Lay it on the line
Hand me my old guitar
Pass the whiskey 'round
Want you to tell everybody you meet
The Candyman's in town
Look out
Look out
The Candyman
Here he come
And he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
Got no friend
Till the Candyman
Come 'round again
