Leo and the candyman Steve Roberts

Leo Leo you played candyman
you came from Ireland with a guitar in your hand
Leo Leo you sang like Donovan
but in the end you preferred the candyman

you went down to the sands
with your money in your hand
bought a one night stand
for five minutes it was grand
but you preferred the candyman

you formed a travelling band
with your travelling friend
but in the end
you forgot that plan
cause you preferred the candyman

Leo Leo you played candyman
you came from Ireland with a guitar in your hand
Leo Leo you sang like Donovan
but in the end you preferred the candyman

Leo Leo
You vanished just like you came
With nothing to your name

Leo Leo you played candyman
you came from Ireland with a guitar in your hand
Leo Leo you sang like Donovan
but your candyman had another plan
your candyman had another plan
