lyrics

Mom and Dad put me in charge of our dinner tonight.
They said I could make anything as long as we ate right.
I had to serve some vegetables, salad, and a stew.
I thought awhile and cooked a bit and here is my menu.

We're having candy corn for dinner,
With a side of chocolate stew,
A three jelly bean salad,
And an ice cream sandwich too.

I don't know why Mom and Dad say cooking is a chore,
'Cause I had such a great time going to the grocery store.
My Mom said we were out of milk, so I got a big milkshake,
And since my Dad likes cheese so much, I got him a cheesecake.

We're having candy corn for dinner,
With a side of chocolate stew,
A three jelly bean salad,
And an ice cream sandwich too.

Life is better when it's sweet,
Like a big hot plate of Rice Krispie treat.

So if you have to cook tonight I hope you'll learn from me,
And make your family carrot cake or cherries jubilee.
Even if they don't approve, you can count it as a win.
You'll have a yummy dinner, and you won't be asked to cook again.

We're having candy corn for dinner,
With a side of chocolate stew,
A three jelly bean salad,
And an ice cream sandwich too.
