If the devil gave out candy
It would surely be Brach's
That shit tastes real nasty
And it's harder than rocks
The same goes for Werthers
And Whitman's Sampler
This is the candy given out
By everyone's old grandparents
Give me a snickers
Mounds or a Kit Kat
Real yummy candy
None of that other crap
This song was written based on the feelings kids had in the 60’s and when after a night of Trick or Treating we’d compare what we got.
It was written after I listened to a bunch of Gene Shepherd WOR radio shows. Gene Shepherd wrote “A Christmas Story”.
