Candy Promises

Candy Promises

Candy:
The footpaths are so dirty and they look an awful sight,
Lovers get embarrassed when the street lights are too bright.
The weather is inclement and things seldom turn out right,
I'll arrange for balmy breezes and a new moon every night.
Cecil Candy, Cecil Candy, Candy is good enough for us.
Cecil Candy, Cecil Candy, Candy is good enough for us.

Aucklanders are rowdy if what I hear is true,
The only things they talk about are what they want to do,
If they are getting bridges then you must have one too,
It may be worse than useless, but golly what a view.
Cecil Candy, etc.

I'll take off all the taxes, the budgets I will spurn,
You'll find yourselves with money that you haven't had to earn,
I'll set up printing presses with five pound notes to burn,
I'll crank until I'm tired, then you can have a turn.
Cecil Candy, etc.
