Candy came calling, candy came calling with love
Candy came calling, candy came calling with love
So bring your troubles and your next of kin
Bring your trinkets and the box they're in
Bring some secrets and a vinegar wine
Bring your mississippi mind
When candy comes calling, candy comes calling for love
When candy comes calling, candy comes calling so in love
So bring your pistols and a buckshot horse
Bring your vandals and a history course
Bring some enamel and a sawed-off smile
Bring your tulips and your flowers
Chrysanthemums and guile
When candy comes calling for love
When candy comes calling so in love
Say it ain't so kid, say it ain't so
No matter what you've done, kid
It's everyone you know
Stealing in the shadows
So bring your sanskrit and a hounddog hell
Leave your [?]
Forget your pride and a mystery tale
Just bring a piece of luck
And raise a loving cup
When candy comes calling for love
When candy comes calling for love
When candy comes i'm alive
