Lyrics
1. In a little toy store window
Sat a little candy boy
A other little “candy” girlie
Stopped outside the store with joy
Oh mama buy me that sweet dolly
I want to take it home with me
Then mama complies
And with roguish eyes
The maid sings tenderly
CHORUS
Candy, you’re a dandy
You’re the sugar plum for me
With your sugar eyes and little sugar nose
Sugar arms and sugar feet and toes
Dear, when I caress you
the smaller grows your form
You’re fading fast, you cannot last
But I’ll remember you when you are gone
2. “Candy” girl and candy baby
In a little nursery lay
Alas! that little “candy” lady
Didn’t feel so well that day
And soon the doctor called to see her
The cause of it was very plain
Of that childish toy
And her candy boy
One leg and (one) arm remain
