Willy:
Close your eyes and count to ten
Make a wish, now open them
Here's a store that's like no other
If it were, I wouldn't bother
Chocolate bushes, chocolate trees
Chocolate flowers and chocolate bees
Chocolate memories that a boy once saved
Before they melted away
A world of your own
A place to escape to
A world of your own
Where you can be free
Wherever you go
Wherevеr life takes you
This is your home
A world of your own
Hеre is the child that you left behind
Here is the kid with the curious mind
Here is the wonder we used to feel
Back when the magic was real
A world of your own
A place to go when you're
Feeling alone, feeling unsure
Embrace the unknown, enjoy the adventure
Let's go strolling in the clouds
Grab a handful, it's allowed
Clouds are made of cotton candy
Just keep your umbrella handy
'Cause there's a hard rain gonna fall
Humbugs, gumdrops, and aniseed balls
Fireworks bring sugar string to chew
All the colors of the rainbow
And some others too
Willy:
A world of our own
Customers:
A world of our own
Willy:
A place to escape to
Customers:
A place to escape to
Willy:
The world of our own
Customers:
A world of our own
Willy:
Where we can be free
Customers:
Where we can be free
Willy:
Wherever you go
Customers:
Wherever you go
Willy:
Wherever life takes you
Customers:
Wherever life takes you
Willy:
This is our home
Customers:
Ooh
Willy:
A world of our own
