Lyrics
Verse 1
Bell on the door goes ding, little sneakers shuffle in
Sticky hands, hopeful eyes, dental plans wearing thin
They point at jars like saints at relics, mouths already wet
I nod once, very slowly, like a curse giving consent
I scoop with gloves the color of regret
Count their coins, pretend I care
“Fresh batch today,” I always say
Fresh is such a flexible word anyway
Pre-Chorus
They never ask what’s in it
They never want to know
Kids love secrets wrapped in pink
Especially ones that glow
Chorus
La-la-la, pick a treat
Pretty colors, sugar sweet
Chew it slow, don’t you cry
Funny things happen if you try
Round and round, lick and bite
Smile big, it’s such a delight
If it wiggles, that’s okay
Means it’s working anyway
Verse 2
There’s gum that whispers after dark
Taffy that learns your name
Lollipops that stretch your smile
A little wider every day
Chocolate frogs that never blink
Caramels that fight back
One kid swore his shadow ran
Still haven’t gotten that one back
Parents wait outside, so proud
Thinking I sell joy in squares
If they knew what sprinkles cost
They’d say their prayers elsewhere
Pre-Chorus
One boy grew an extra laugh
It comes out when he sleeps
A girl started shedding glitter
From places glitter shouldn’t be
Chorus
La-la-la, pick a treat
Pretty colors, sugar sweet
Chew it slow, don’t you cry
Funny things happen if you try
Round and round, lick and bite
Smile big, it’s such a delight
If it wiggles, that’s okay
Means it’s working anyway
Bridge
I don’t chase them, I don’t force
I don’t sharpen hooks
I just line the shelves with dreams
And very clear labels no one looks at
Sugar doesn’t lie, you see
It just never tells the truth
And children always trust a smile
With powdered sugar tooth
Break
Jawbreakers break more than jaws
Marshmallows learn to crawl
Cotton candy hums at night
When the shop lights stall
Final Chorus
La-la-la, pick a treat
Pretty colors, sugar sweet
Chew it slow, don’t you cry
Funny things happen if you try
Round and round, lick and bite
Smile big, it’s such a delight
If it wiggles, that’s okay
Means it’s working anyway
Outro
Bell goes ding, another day
Sweep up teeth and hope
Tomorrow’s batch is almost ready
It jiggles when I poke
