Candy Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

Candy
I call my sugar, candy
Because I′m sweet on candy
And candy's sweet on me

He understands me
My understanding candy
And candy′s always handy
When I need sympathy
I wish that there were four of him
So I could love much more of him
He has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet-tooth for my sweetheart

Candy
It's gonna be just dandy
The day I take my candy
And make him mine, oh, mine


All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn, I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you′re everything
You′re every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn, and spring
And were there more than 24 hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content just dreaming away

When skies are gray
When skies are blue
Morning, noon, and nighttime, too
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you

What′s the tune they like the best
When the jive becomes deluxe?
What's the number one request?
Seven-twenty in the books
When the band begins to play
You should see the dirty looks
If the leader doesn′t say
Seven-twenty in the books


It's something that you′ll approve
Gets you right in the groove
To keep in step
You really gotta be hip
Just be like the kangaroo
Or the fishes in the brooks
Everybody's jumpin' to
Seven-twenty in the books

Oh, it happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met him in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars
And luscious lips, as warm as wine
Broke somebody′s heart
And I′m afraid that it was mine

It happened in Monterey
Without thinking twice
I left him and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
What can I do to prove it to you, I′m sorry?
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn′t care, I wouldn't feel like I do
I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don′t blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry, and I'm so sorry, dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
So sorry
Sorry
