When I was just a little kid
And went from door to door
We didn't say, "Trick or Treat"
We yelled, "Help the Poor!"

I think it should have been
"Trick or TRICK," because I left forlorn
They didn't treat us, but gave US a trick
It was called,
"YUCKY CANDY CORN!!"

Every year, weeks went by
And this is what I found ...
By the time we were eating Christmas goodies
Yep, the candy corn was STILL around

All the chocolate was eaten up fast
Suckers, and bubble gum
But, why in the heck pass out candy corn
THAT, to me, was dumb

I know what parents did
whenever kids got that stuff
Heaven only knows they had enough
WHO, ever thought up "CANDY CORN"
It's enough to make ya gag
I just know it was recycled year after year
I recognized it in MY kid's BAG!!

There Ain't Nuttin In-Creddy-Able about
CANDY CORN!!
