[Verse 1]
C                                 Dm
Run down corner candy store down 42nd street.
            F
There’s an old screen door that’s been stretched a mile
  G
by little children’s feet.
 C                                    Dm
Shuffling down the sidewalk, a shiny penny in my hand,
      F                               G
I am off to see old Andy.  He’s the king of candy land.

[Chorus]
                    Dm                            F
They said he was a nice old man.  Said he was a nice old man.
                           G             C
Folks called him Andy,the king of candy land.

[Verse 2] 
     C                                    Dm
Now me and all my little friends, we were only 5 years old.
         F                                      G
We had ears as big as basketballs, believed everything we was told.
   C                                      Dm
Heard the old folks talking,  heard the rumors spreadin’ round.
              F                          G
Seems the supermarket was drivin’ Andy right into the ground.

[Chorus]
                    Dm                            F
They said he was a nice old man.  Said he was a nice old man.
                           G             C
Folks called him Andy,the king of candy land.

[Bridge]
    F                               C
We never had much money.  But then Andy didn’t care.
                Dm                        F
Well you could take your time while you spent your dime
             G
It made you feel like a millionaire.

[Verse 3]
     C                                   Dm
Now Andy and his store are gone and it comes to no surprise.
F                                G
So is much of the magic and the wonder from our eyes.
    C                                      Dm
Old men and little children, they are the only ones who see
      F                             G               C
The world not as it really is, but how it ought to be.
             C                           Dm
So with a penny in my pocket, the whole world sure does look grand.
      F                             G              C
I am off to see old Andy, he’s the king of candy land.
