The Candyman Can (2002-03)

A Poem by drak

Parody of Roald Dahl's "Candy Man". artwork by Cassandra "Ultraviolet" Gunn.

Who can give you luscious treats
even when you're blue
hand over a box of chocolates and say, "How do you do?"
The Candyman?
the Candyman can, the Candyman can
The Candyman can 'cause he wants to spread the love
and smother it with sweetness

Who can give you cavities
make your teeth decay
stuff you in a bag and ship you away
The Candyman?
The Candyman can, the Candyman can
The Candyman can 'cause he wants to spread the love
and smother it in sweetness...

The Candyman bakes
whoever he finds and takes
Trying to make something new
inventing ingredients out of the blue
who knows, he might even use you!

Who can make you hyper
encourage poor health
make you waste your money and be out of wealth
The Candyman? The Candyman can, the Candyman can

The Candyman can 'cause he wants to spread the love
and smother it in sweetness
when the world becomes in effeteness
the Candyman leaves in fleetness
oh yes...the Candyman can...
