   C                Gm       F
Come all you pretty women, with your hair a-hanging down

Open up your window, cause the Candy Man's in town

Seven come eleven, Boys, I'll take your money home

Candy Man comes around aga---in

I come in from Memphis, where I learned to talk the jive

When I get back to Memphis, be one less man alive
         Dm    G        Dm
Good morning Mr. Benson, I see you're doing well
F                        G
If I had me a shotgun, I'd blow you straight to hell

Look out, look out, the Candy Man
Bb   F       C
Here he comes and he's gone again

Candy Man comes around aga---in

If you've got a dollar, Boys, lay it on the line

Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey and rye
F                             G
Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candy Man's in to---wn
