Lyrics Candy (Medley) - 1999 Digital Remaster - Ella Fitzgerald

Candy
I call my sugar candy
Because I′m sweet on candy
And candy's sweet on me

He understands me
My understanding candy
And candy′s always handy
When I need sympathy

I wish that there were four of him
So I could love much more of him
He has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet-tooth for my sweet-heart

Candy
It's gonna be just dandy
The day that I take my candy
And make him mine, oh mine

All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you′re everything
You′re every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn, and spring
And were there more than 24 hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content just dreaming away
When the skies are gray
When the skies are blue
Morning, noon, and night-time, too
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you!

What′s the tune they like the best
When the jive becomes deluxe
What's the number one request
Seven-twenty in the books

When the band begins to play
You should see the dirty looks
If the leader doesn′t say
Seven-twenty in the books

It's something that you′ll approve
Gets you right in the groove
To keep in step
You really gotta be hep

Just be like the kangaroo
Or the fishes in the brooks
Ev'rybody's jumpin′ to
Seven-twenty in the books

It happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met him in Monterey, in old Me′co
Stars and steel guitars
And luscious lips, as warm as wine
Broke somebody's heart
And I′m afraid that it was mine

It happened in Monterey
Without thinking twice
I left him and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry
What can I do to prove it to you, I′m sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you-u-u
If I didn′t care I wouldn't feel like I do-o-o
I was all wrong but right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry, and I′m so sorry dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I′m sorry
So sorry, sorry
