Oh, but what this smell like gravy?
An` I would like to know
What this smell like gravy?
Now, why don`t ya tell me so?
Well, I`m not best
Not best in town
But I`ll be the best
Until the best come around
A-what`s this smell, like gravy?
Now, I would like to know
(harmonica & guitar)
Oh, but what this smell like gravy?

About your candy shop
