Cotton Candy Land

download

(Tepper and Bennett)

Information:
Cotton Candy Land was written by Ruth Batchelor and Bob Roberts for Elvis’s 1963 movie It Happened at the World’s Fair. The film version had added strings and a shorter ending. Cotton Candy Land was initially considered for a movie-song medley in the 1968 TV special Elvis, but the idea was dropped. The song was recorded in September 1962 at Radio Recorders.

Lyrics:

Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
To sprinkle you with sand
He'll say "one, two, three"
And you'll be in cotton candy land

Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
He'll take you, by the hand
And you'll ride upon a big white swan
In cotton candy land

You and the swan will float upon
A cloud of pink ice cream
Where every star is a candy bar
And the moon is a marshmallow dream

Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
Take his magic hand
Now goodnight, now sleep tight
In cotton candy land

In cotton candy land...
