Key:
C Gm F Come all you pretty women with your hair a hangin' down,
F G Open up your windows 'cause the Candyman's in town.
Dm G Dm Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones,
F G Seven come eleven, boys, I'll take your money home. [Chorus]
Bb F C Look out, look out, the Candyman,
Bb F C Here he come and he's gone again,
Am G Pretty lady ain't got no friend 'til
F G The Candyman comes around again. [Verse 2]
C Gm F I come in from Memphis where I learned to talk the jive,
F G When I get back to Memphis, there'll be one less man alive.
