Lyrics and Chords


[Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The candy man, the candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

/ G - D - / C G / / D C / G - /

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a strawb'ry-lemon pie
The candy man? - The candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

Willy Wonka [The candy man] makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

/ C - / Bm G / Bm Em / C D /

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The candy man, Willy Wonka can, the candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

And the world tastes good
'Cause the candy man thinks it should

/ A7 / C Fmaj7 - /
