Story Behind The Song
We wanted to write a song about a place where you can taste everything you see. We also wanted to create a fictional place that kids could think is real, kinda like they think Santa is real.

Lyrics
CANDYLAND (NORRIS, DEATON, FOLEY)
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TAKE MY HAND
YOUR IMAGINATION CAN
TAKE YOU TO A PLACE WHERE YOU
CAN TASTE EVERYTHING IN YOUR VIEW
WELCOME TO CANDYLAND
WHERE VANILLA RIVERS FLOW
SLED DOWN THOSE GUMDROP HILLS
ALL COVERED IN POWDERED SUGAR SNOW
MAY YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE THE GRAND TOUR
AS WE STROLL DOWN PEPPERMINT LANE
IN CANDYLAND
WHERE YOUR SWEET TOOTH HAS GOT IT MADE
COTTON CANDY CLOUDS AND BLUEBERRY SKIES
A LAFFY TAFFY RAINBOW SLIDE
YOU CAN SHIMMY YOUR WAY UP THE LICORICE VINES
WHERE THE VIEW WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
LOLLIPOP LAMP POSTS LINING THE STREETS
PIXIE STICK DUST ENCHANTING THE BREEZE
CHOCOLATE BARK ON JELLY BEAN TREES
A DELECTIBLE, EDIBLE DREAM
WELCOME TO CANDYLAND
WHERE VANILLA RIVERS FLOW
SLED DOWN THOSE GUMDROP HILLS
ALL COVERED IN POWDERED SUGAR SNOW
MAY YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE THE GRAND TOUR AS WE
STROLL DOWN PEPPERMINT LANE
IN CANDYLAND
WHERE YOUR SWEET TOOTH HAS GOT IT MADE
A TASTY DAY PARADE DOWN MARSHMALLOW ROAD
KICKED OFF BY A ROOTBEER FLOAT
CHERRIES DANCE ON A BANANA SPLIT BOAT
HEAR THE MUSIC, TASTE THE NOTES
COMING FROM WOODWINDS & BRASS ALL DOIN A DANCE
SYMPHONY SWEET, THE GINGERBREAD MAN
LEADING THE MARCH OF THE GUMMY BEAR BAND
WHERE THE SOUND MELTS IN YOUR HANDS
WELCOME TO CANDYLAND, WE CAN EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
A CANDYLAND DELIGHT
IN CANDYLAND WE CAN TASTE THE FLAVOR FINALE, ON A POPROCK FIREWORKS SCRUMPTIOUS SUGAR HIGH, WE'LL FLY THROUGH
CANDYLAND
WHERE VANILLA RIVERS FLOW
SLED DOWN THOSE GUMDROP HILLS
ALL COVERED IN POWDERED SUGAR SNOW
MAY YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE THE GRAND TOUR AS WE
STROLL DOWN PEPPERMINT LANE
IN CANDYLAND, CANDYLAND
YOUR SWEET TOOTH'S GOT IT MADE
