How Sweet It Is - the Love Life of Candy

It seemed that poor Candy was doomed
                    Always looking for Mr. Good Bar
Every Mike and Ike in the book
               She had dated yet none would go far

Indeed, she finds only Airheads
             Like that old Jolly Rancher last week
She wouldn’t know the Three Musketeers
        If they came up and kissed her on the cheek

She’s not shopping on 5th Avenue
                       If you really know what I mean
Hangin’ round with the Hot Tamales
             And night clubs are just not her scene

This Marathon of a man hunt
             Searching all of the known Milky Way
Has lead her to nothing but Goobers
               Oh, when will she have her Pay Day

Her friends have been her Lifesavers
                And one day we know she will Skor
She should Take5, let love come to her
                        Now and Later, for evermore
