Paroles de The Candy Kid (From The Mission On The Bowery)

Feelin' so depressed I wasn't up to getting dressed It was a Saturday night And I decided against a party. There was Christmas in the air And you could feel it everywhere And it kinda brought me down 'Cause I felt I just wasn't ready. I headed on down To the center of town Where folks were shopping around And all the colored lights were pretty. And suddenly I could hear So loud and so clear Such beautiful music And the rhythm was happy. It was the Candy Kid From the Mission on the Bowery A hobo Santa working For the Salvation Army. Come please Drop a nickel in the kettle The Candy Kid will dance Your troubles away Your troubles away Watching him move People couldn't help but groove And they were clapping their hands And singing c'mon Candy While we were caught in this glow It might have started to snow I don't know I don't know My happy heart was diggin' Candy It was the Candy Kid From the Mission on the Bowery Just a hobo Santa working For the Salvation Army. Come please Drop a nickel in the kettle The Candy Kid will dance Your troubles away Your troubles away
