Lyric discussion by Derf 

Cover art for The Candy Man lyrics by Sammy Davis, Jr.

The song was originally written for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. There are no hidden meanings. It sure seems like there should be some hidden context about drugs or something else but no, it really is about a magical world of candy and edible dishes.
