No, I always thought it was about dishing out drugs...

Candy Man, Hey Candy Man
Alright Everybody, Gather Round
The Candy Man Is Here
What Kind Of Candy Do You Want?
Sweet Chocolate? Chocolate Walnut Candy?
Gum Drops? Anything You Want
You've Come To The Right Man Because
I'm The Candy Man!

[Sing]Who Can Take A Sunrise?
(Who Can Take A Sunrise?)
Sprinkle It With Dew
Cover It With Chocolate And A Miracle Or Two

[Chorus]
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man Can (The Candy Man Can)
The Candy Man Can Cause
He Mixes It With Love
And Makes The World Taste Good
(Makes The World Taste Good)

Who Can Take The Rainbow?
(Who Can Take The Rainbow?)
Wrap It In A Sigh
(Wrap It In A Sigh)
Soak It In The Sun And Make A Groovy Lemon Pie

[Chorus]

The Candy Man Makes Everything He Bakes
Satisfying And Delicious
Talk About Your Childhood Wishes
You Can Even Eat The Dishes

Who Can Take Tomorrow?
(Who Can Take Tomorrow?)
Dip It In A Dream
(Dip It In A Dream)
Separate The Sorrow And Collect Up All The Cream

[Chorus]

The Candy Man Makes Everything He Bakes
Satisfying And Delicious
Talk About Your Childhood Wishes
You Can Even Eat The Dishes

Who Can Take Tomorrow?
(Who Can Take Tomorrow?)
Dip It In A Dream
(Dip It In A Dream)
Separate The Sorrow And Collect Up All The Cream

[Chorus]

The Candy Man Can Because
He Mixes It With Love And Makes The World Taste Good
(Makes The World Taste Good)

A Candy Man, A Candy Man, A Candy Man
Makes The World Taste Good

[tamborine]

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy 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

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious

a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man

Anyways, back on topic.

All those references to Separating sorrow and collecting cream...... etc. If you watch the video of the live version even the audience know what he's singing about ..

just my 2 cents worth.

[harley_Husky]

I've never noticed the drugs references. Geniusly well spotted.

[tamborine]

same for Mr Tambourine man, tho' I only recently became aware of it ;)

[tamborine]

who plays a harmonica anymore.....most kids had them in my youth.

On a similar vein was Sugarman by Sixto Sixto Rodriguez, fill with lots of drug references...

Sugarman
Won't ya hurry
Coz I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin
Won't ya bring back
All those colours to my dreams
Silver majik ships, you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet MaryJane
Sugarman
Met a false friend
On a lonely, dusty road
Lost my heart
When I found it
It had turned to dead, black coal
Silver majik ships, you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet MaryJane
Sugarman
You're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
Sugarman
Coz I'm weary
Of these double games I hear
Sugarman (x7)

Sugarman
Won't ya hurry
Coz I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin
Won't ya bring back
All those colours to my dreams
Silver majik ships, you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet MaryJane
Sugarman
Met a false friend
On a lonely, dusty road
Lost my heart
When I found it
It had turned to dead, black coal
Silver majik ships, you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet MaryJane
Sugarman
You're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
