The Candy Machine Lyrics by Zager and Evans

Zager & Evans

1970

[Verse 1]
Once in a dream
I was a candy machine
And all of my friends
I covered with chocolate ice cream
And jelly beans
[Hook 1]
When I awoke, nobody spoke
Everyone was frozen
[Verse 2]
I took them upstairs
And put them in my Frigidaire
Along with the dreams
And things I keep in my Tupperware
Then I went back downstairs
[Hook 2]
Thinking of when I would thaw out my friends
I decided never
[Verse 3]
Now that I'm old
And covered with mold
I'm thinking of things
Like frozen friends and jelly beans
And the candy machine
[Outro]
La da da da
Aren't you glad you're not my friend
