The Candy Man Lyrics by Christian Borle, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Broadway Ensemble

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[WILLY WONKA]
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?
The Candy Man
Oh, the Candy Man can
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(spoken)
My name is Willy Wonka. I make chocolate. Quite simply, the greatest invention in the entire history of the world. Who ever could there be who doesn't love the tooth-tickling, tongue-tastical taste of a sweet bar of soft milk chocolate. Except dogs, of course, it's poisonous to dogs. But apart from dogs
There comes a time in every chocolatier's life when the chocolate he makes turns dark and bitter, and that's when he knows it's time to lay down his spoon to hand it over to someone else, someone new! The only question is:
(sung)
Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry lemon pie?
(spoken)
I need to find a new... (laughs) me
(sung)
A Candy Man
(spoken)
But who can catch a Candy Man? Oh!
(sung)
A Candy Man can
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(spoken)
I have to go back out into the world. The world... I haven't been out there in a very, very long time. Well, what're you waiting for? Let's go!
(sung)
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
[ENSEMBLE 1, WONKA]
Who can take tomorrow (Who can take tomorrow?)
Dip it in a dream? (Dip it in a dream?)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man
Oh, the Candy Man can
[WONKA]
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good
[ALL]
'Cause the Candy Man thinks it should!
