The Dandy Man Can

***

Who Can Take The Sunrise . . .

Sprinkle It With Dew ?

Cover It In Coke And A Miracle Or Two ?

The Dandy Man — ! 

The Dandy Man Can ! !

The Dandy Man Can —

Because He Mixes It With Shrooms . . .

And Makes The World Taste Good !

Who Can Take A Rainbow . . .

Wrap It In A Sigh . . .

Soak It Fine Brandy ,

And Smoke You ‘ til You ’ re High . . . ?

The Dandy Man . . .

The Dandy Man . . .

The Dandy Man Can — !

The Dandy Man Can 

Because He Mixes It With LSD . . .

And Makes The World Taste Good — !

The Dandy Man Makes —

Everything He Bakes —

Trippy And Delicious !

Talk About Your Childhood Wishes . . . 

You May Even Give Him Kisses . . . 

Who Can Take Some Ketamine —

Dip It In A Dream —

Separate The Sorrow . . . 

And Collect Up All The Cream ?

The Dandy Man . . .

The Dandy Man Can . . .

The Dandy Man Can — !

The Dandy Man Can —

Cause He Mixes It With Addy . . .

And Makes The World Taste Good !

And The World Tastes Good . . .

Cause The Dandy Man Thinks It Should . . . !
