I met a little gal in the state of Arkansas
Her name it was Mirandy
I wanted her love so I asked her pa
He said tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy

My oh my if the apple of your eye
Don't think you're a real gem dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice boys
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy

You can take her out for the time of her life
Give her good Napoleon brandy
But you'll never gonna make that woman your wife
Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy

My oh my if the apple of your eye
Don't think you're a real gem dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice boys
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy

If the road of love seems bumpy and rough
And if your sugar gets sandy
You can bet your boots she'll strut her stuff
You'll tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy

My oh my if the apple of your eye
Don't think you're a real gem dandy
Take my advice and put it on ice boys
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy
Tell her lies and feed her candy
