I can still remember the candy store
Feeling like I was rich if I had a nickle
Standing there looking at the treats
Did I want to buy candy or a pickle

There was a little deli in the back
School kids could buy their lunch
Bologna sandwiches were so good
Potato chips we bought us a bunch

Pepsi cost just a nickle back then
Bologna sandwich was a nickle too
Potato chips were put in a big bowl
On an old table with a cloth of blue

Those days are so long gone now
But the memory wasn't left behind
I still remember that old candy store
Run by a lady so nice and so kind
