Week 11 Term 1 Singing - The Candy Man
Instructions
In keeping of this week’s theme of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we will be learning a new Wonka song! The Candy Man is one you already know through the dance activities so now you can learn the words!
Watch Jade’s video and practice using the backing track in the audio section.
When you are ready record a video of yourself and submit it down the bottom of the webpage.
Make sure to remember all of the good singing techniques we have learnt over the past few weeks, but also remember that this is quite a story focused song, so try and focus on the characterisation of the person singing. Use your face, body and surroundings to add characterisation.
The Candy Man Lyrics
Who can take the sunrise, Sprinkle it with dew,
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two? The candy man! The candy man can
Who can take a rainbow, Wrap it in a sigh,
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry-lemon pie? The candy man? The candy man!
The candy man can because he mixes it with love, And makes the world taste good
Willy wonka makes Everything he bakes Satisfying and delicious-

Talk about your childhood wishes, You can even eat the dishes!
Who can take tomorrow, Dip it in a dream, Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The candy man, The candy man can
The candy man can cause he mixes it with love, And makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good, Cause the candy man thinks it should
