Candy
The Astors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gee, whiz
Have you seen my girl
Gee, whiz
She's out of this world

She's got lips so sweet
Candy red
Honey bees flying all
Around her head
Candy, Candy

Ooh, wee
She's got a heart so warm
Ooh, wee
She's like a lucky charm

She's got eyes so bright
Sky blue
A voice so soft
Just like a morning dew

She's just a lump of sugar
And sweetened my tea
And one of these days
She's gonna marry me

Gee, whiz
She's got everything
Gee, whiz
She should be a queen

She's got a loving heart
Gold pure
One of these days
I'll make her mine
I'm sure

Candy, Candy

Fantastic !!! The "Astors" really tear it up with this one. The basic back and forth rythym is timeless pop, but no one should touch this cut today, they will only discredit it's simple vibe. The Astors were part of train load of classy well dressed , sexy vocal groups that blew up the radio stations in the mid-Sixties. Thank God for music like this , the pulse and joy that was put into that period will never return. ♥️☮️🎶

@USAtoElsewhere

Was looking for this song online for about a year and this time it came up. An obscure oldie that's really great for dancing.

@poppopken

Although I knew the name of the song, I didn't know the name of the group and spent hours looking for it. I fell upon the Google option to sing the song into the mike- Google identified it! amazing

@TheSturdley

I can remember listening to this song on WIBG in Philly circa 1965 around the time that Candy and the Kisses were recording "The 81" and a few years before the Ethics sung "Think about Tomorrow." Joe Niagara, "the rockin' bird" would play it or maybe Hi Lit or Jerry Stevens. Magnificent!

@billchew450

I remember it too royal sound

@sistervluv3556

Wow. haven't heard in forever. Reminds me of summer time in Philly, watching Steele Pier live from Atlantic City on t.v.

@bartleywalton1888

One of my favorite Memphis Stax soul sounds

@joekarlsen5635

Joe Karlsen Remember Playing it at The Attic Joe, .....got a good reception first time I played it...still have the Black Atlantic demo and still play it out....

@Almoay

I just heard this for the first time in 50 years!  what an intense experience!  I also listened to it in the Summer of 65 on WIBG (WIBG Radio 99, or wibbage)!  Wow--I been trying to find out what this song is from my memory for YEARS--began to wonder if I just imagined it!
