Lyrics
COTTON CANDY MAN
A painted butterfly flies all around
And circles overhead
The cotton candy man stands on the ground
With feet that feel like lead
(Verse)
A bunch of red balloons soon join the fun
And chase the butterfly
The cotton candy man's hands start to run
Across his weary eyes
(Bridge)
Sunshine girl no longer comes around
To buy his wares
Sunshine girl no longer comes around
To climb his stairs
(Chorus)
Sunshine girl no longer
Fills the air with singing
Now despair keeps ringing
Everywhere he sees her face
(Verse)
A little organ grinder grinds happy songs
The monkey dances on
The cotton candy man's plans all went wrong
His cotton candy's gone
(Bridge)
Sunshine girl no longer comes around
To buy his wares
Sunshine girl no longer comes around
To climb his stairs
(Chorus)
Sunshine girl no longer
Fills the air with singing
Now despair keeps ringing
Everywhere he sees her face
