About
A song written for the play The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, with a devised script based on the Lemony Snicket book and directed by the wonderful Tall Stories. At this point in the play, a peppermint candy cane makes an entrance. We decided that she rated herself a little too highly, so I wrote my first ever song about sweets and snacks with attitude.
Lyrics
I’ve climbed pyramids of coconut
I’ve been around the Milky Way
I kick Reeses to pieces
Crush Maltesers every day
Cos they are not the sweets that everybody wants to eat
Even when you’re feeling sick
All it takes it just one lick of
Of the Candy
CHORUS
She’s Candy, the Candy Cane
And I’m the best
She’s minty, so minty fresh
Cos I’m Candy
She’s Candy, the Candy Cane
And I’m the best
She’s minty, so minty fresh
Some girls like jammie dodgers
Some like penny sweets
Some like gobstoppers
Or even wagon wheels
Some boys like pink wafers
Some like Fisherman’s Friends
You know it’s always safer
To stick to Candy in the end
CHORUS
I say Candy, you say Cane
We say Candy, you say Cane
Candy Candy Candy
Cane Cane Cane
