Candy 1908

In a little toy store window
sat a little candy boy
another 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.

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.

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.

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 arm remain.

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.

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.
