I met a little girl in the state of Arkansas Her name it was Mirandy I wanted her love, a wife to love 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 it hasn't been dandy Take my advice and put it on ice Tell her lies and feed her candy Tell her lies and feed her candy.

You can take her out to the time of her life Give her good Napolean Brandy But you're 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 it hasn't been dandy Take my advice and put it on ice Tell her lies and feed her candy Tell her lies and feed her candy.
--- Instrumental ---
If the road of love seems rocky and rough And if your sugar gets sandy You can bet your boots it's better stuff Unless you tell her lies and feed her candy Tell her lies and feed her candy.
My oh my, it's apple of your eye Don't think it hasn't been dandy Take my advice and put it on ice 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...
