Lyrics

I know a guy who’s the tough but sweet.

He’s so fine, he can’t be beat.

He’s got ev ’ry thing that I de si re.

Sets the sum mer sun my on fi re.

I want Can (D)dy,

I want Can (D)dy.

Go to see him when the sun goes down.

Ain’t no fin er boy in town.

He’s You’re my guy, just what the tor or dered.

Sets So sweet you make my mouth wa ter.

I want Can (D)dy,

I want Can (D)dy.

Can dy on the beach, there’s noth ing bet ter.

But I like Can dy when it’s wrapped in a sweat er.

Some day soon, I’ll make you mine.

And I’ll have Can dy all the time.

I want Can (D)dy,

I want Can (D)dy,

I want Can (D)dy,

I want Can (D)dy.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!
