Lyrics

[Intro]
All right, all right, all right, what's it going to be?
A Triple-Cream Cup for Christopher, a Squelchy Snorter for Otis
A Sizzler for June-Marie, and listen!
Wonka's got a new one today
What is it?
This is called a Scrumdidilyumptious Bar
Scrumbibilyunctions Bar? How does he do it?
My dear boy, do you ask a fish how it swims?
No
Or a bird how it flies?
No
No sirree, you don't!
They do it because they were born to do it
Just like Willy Wonka was born to be a candy man
And you look like you were born to be a Wonkarer
[Verse 1]
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two?
The candy man
The candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
[Verse 2]
Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry-lemon pie?
The candy man?
The candy man
The candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
Me, me!
[Bridge]
Willy Wonka makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes!
You can even eat the dishes!
[Verse 3]
Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The candy man
Willy Wonka can
The candy man can
[Outro]
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good
'Cause the candy man thinks it should
