I Bought a Box of Sweet Candy Today

Because of this candy box
I bought this box of candy

What a lovely shape
Like a wooden boat
A pile of brown jelly lying inside
Like those brown hands that made it

I will never forget the smell
The smell of Manzanillo Sea
And the taste shall remain forever
The taste of Mexico sunshine

I want to ride this boat
Row and row
Across the waves of your blue dream
To the island of our sweet home
