verse 1
   C                Gm       F
Come all you pretty women, with your hair a-hanging down
                       G
Open up your window, cause the Candy Man's in town
         Dm   G          Dm
Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones

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

Look out, look out, the Candy Man

F        G
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


Bb    F       C
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
        Dm   G          Dm
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
