Cotton Candy Land
Elvis Presley · Elvis Sings for Children and Grownups Too!
To sprinkle you with sand
HeÂ’ll say one, two, three
And youÂ’ll be, in cotton candy land
SandmanÂ’s cominÂ’, yes heÂ’s cominÂ’
HeÂ’ll take you, by the hand
And youÂ’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
SandmanÂ’s cominÂ’, yes heÂ’s cominÂ’
Take his magic hand
Now goodnight...now sleep tight
In cotton candy land
In cotton candy land...
