A possibly more obvious choice from Chicago Chapter is going to be their
rendition of "The Candy Man (Can)", from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory.

This is the movie clip:

I've edited Dave's lyrics so they match the movie clip:

Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew,
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?
The Candy Man.
the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow
wrap it in a sigh?
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry lemon pie? (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
Willy Wonka makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

Who can take tomorrow
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The Candy Man (Willy Wonka can)
Oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
And the workd tastes good cause the candyman thinks it should
