Cartoons & Candy - Bruce Hornsby

Oh don’t the sun look lonesome tonight

Shining down through the trees

I’m feeling like such a mannish child

Bottlenecking while I’m eating gummy fleas

I’m watching cartoons and eating little candy

And everybody here wants to be like me

Walking on the sidewalk with W.C.

Handy

And all the little wannabees turn to see

I’m getting up, time to dust my broom

Sing nursery rhymes of pain

I’m trading cards with John the Conqueroo

We’re setting up our toy mystery trains

I’m watching cartoons and eating little candy

And everybody here wants to be like me

Walking on the sidewalk with W.C.

Handy

And all the little wannabees turn to see

I’m eating chocolate chip cookie dough

Heading down the crossroads

Walking with my jelly beans

Sitting at the master’s knee

(All aboard! All aboard!)

I’m watching cartoons and eating little candy

And everybody here wants to be like me

Walking on the sidewalk with W.C.

Handy

And all the little wannabees turn to see
