Blind Lemon Lincoln sings about how he doesn’t like sweet candy, and would much rather have the sour and tangy candy instead.
[Verse 1]
I woke up on Christmas
Pulled down the sock
Found only the sweet stuff
Mouth went into shock
I don't like the chocolate
Don't like candy canes
'Cause all of that sweet stuff
Puts this boy in pain
[Chorus]
I've got those chocolate-covered
Honey smothered
Candy coated
Sugar bloated-
Give me the lemon drops
Sour balls, lemon stuff-
Keep all the sticky-sweet
Bring on the sour treat-
Christmas time Candy Cane Blues!
[Verse 2]
Now I'm hungry for something
Cream apple to start:
Keep all the sweet stuff
Off of my tounge!
Save the bunnies for Nezzer
A big chocolate goo
Give me something with sizzle
Tangy is all that will do!
[Chorus]
I've got those chocolate-covered
Honey smothered
Candy coated
Sugar bloated-
Give me the lemon drops
Sour balls, lemon stuff-
Keep all the sticky-sweet
Bring on the sour treat-
Christmas time Candy Cane Blues!
I said those Christmas time Candy Cane Blues!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I've got those chocolate-covered
Honey smothered
Candy coated
Sugar bloated-
Give me the lemon drops
Sour balls, lemon stuff-
Keep all the sticky-sweet
Bring on the sour treat-
Christmas time Candy Cane Blues
