Don't Take the Candy lyrics

She said all she wants to do

Is go and catch some air

She was a sweet little girl from Idaho

She came to L.A. for her holiday

She had no idea 

It was the last year 

She'd seen the potatoes grow

Don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

There's candy that ain't sweet

That's not meant to be a treat

Don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

He may seem so nice and kind

You wouldn't like what's on his mind

She said she had always dreamed

Of fame and glamor

Now she came to see 

The billboards on Sunset Boulevard

Hoping that one day she, too, would be a star

She was sweet sixteen

And such a nice little girl from Idaho

Don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

There's candy that ain't sweet

That's not meant to be a treat

Oh, don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

He may seem so nice and kind

You wouldn't like what's on his mind

(Don't take the candy)

(Don't take the candy)

(Don't take the candy)

She said all she wants to do

Is go and catch some air

She said she's safe

They told her all about life in Idaho

She was never seen again

I know that she loved sweets

And there are so many 

Candy uncles in L.A. streets

I knew it would happen

Saw it happen before

I tried to warn her

But she would ignore

I said:

Don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

There's candy that ain't sweet

That's not meant to be a treat

Oh, don't take the candy 

From the uncle in the street

He may seem so nice and kind

You wouldn't like what's on his mind

Don't take the candy 

(Don't take the candy)

From the uncle in the street

(Don't take the candy)  

There's candy that ain't sweet

(Don't take the candy)  

That's not meant to be a treat

Whoa, don't take the candy 

(Don't take the candy)  

From the uncle in the street

(Don't take the candy)  

He may seem so nice and kind

(Don't take the candy)  

You wouldn't like what's on his mind
