Now the candy shop is closed
Yes the candy shop is closed

We visit some there each day
Rounding up pennies just to pay
For things like
Raspberry lolipops
Old milk bottle tops
Comic books for swapping too

We play hop scotch, hide and seek
And between our meals we'd eat
Things like
Chocolate cigars
Sticky nougat bars
Gobstoppers by the jar too

Now the candy shop is closed
Office blocks come into view
And I know my rent is due
Yes the candy shop is closed

All those times were so exciting
You might see two friends fighting
Over
??????
Who won a football game
Whoever got the blame was a soul

Now there's much more to get through
But only boring things to do
Settling
Insurance policies
Hot anolmolies
Hardships and worries by the score

Now the candy shop is closed
Office blocks come into view
And I know my rent is due
Yes the candy shop is closed

Oh the candy shop is closed
Yes the candy shop is closed
Oh the candy shop is closed.....
