The Lyrics
Yeah, you know the code word for "Candy".
Candy man, Candy man
He's living in a candy van
Want something? Anything!
Just behave, you'll behave
Look out! Here comes the Candy man!
Is it wrong? Well it's strong!
He has a psychedelic drug.
Can you please buy his meds?
Don't get trailed by the feds
Hey there, there goes the Candy man!
It's the sweetest hype,
It's the theme of this time
The theme is his type
He does it every time
Candy man, Candy man
If you're in the mood, find the van!
Without fame, it gets lame
Lowlight is his reward
To him, life is a great big profit
Wherever there's a profit
Here comes the CANDY MAN!!!
He's living in a candy van
Want something? Anything!
Just behave, you'll behave
Look out! Here comes the Candy man!
Is it wrong? Well it's strong!
He has a psychedelic drug.
Can you please buy his meds?
Don't get trailed by the feds
Hey there, there goes the Candy man!
It's the sweetest hype,
It's the theme of this time
The theme is his type
He does it every time
Candy man, Candy man
If you're in the mood, find the van!
Without fame, it gets lame
Lowlight is his reward
To him, life is a great big profit
Wherever there's a profit
Here comes the CANDY MAN!!!
Want some "candy"?

It's cocaine right? That's the "candy" that you're talking about? Could of used some more laugh out loud lines but really it isn't bad. At least I know what you're talking about and thanks for joining us in this round of Artistry!

It could also be LSD as well.
"behave/behave", "profit/profit" really could have had other rhymes. And "He does it every time", while paced correctly, really should have had the third syllable rhyme with the last syllable. I'm kind of shocked that you let those go through. But this was still hilarious.
(Artistry) Simple classic concept. Fun OS choice. I agree with Aggy that you could've gotten more creative with some of those internal rhymes and had a blast there. With these short Cartoon Theme Songs, you have to cram every bit of comedy and creativity you can into them to really make them shine because there is no time to beat around the bush. Overall, not bad, very fun.
(Artistry) I actually thought this was about a sex offender. You know, creepy guy in a van offering candy to children? Makes more sense than a generic drug. Either way, decent parody, well paced but very light on the laughs.
Not bad, but the topic kinda flew over my head. I assumed it was drug related, but other than that...I was kinda lost.
Hey Max, the candy these days is more likely to be vape pens with bubble gum flavored nicotine!!!
