I'm Your Ice Cream Man

Dedicate one to the ladies…)

Now summertime’s here babe, need somethin’ to keep you cool.
Ah now summertime’s here babe, need somethin’ to keep you cool.
Better look out now though, LOTGK’s got somethin’ for you.
Tell ya what it is,
I’m your ice cream man, stop me when I’m passin’ by.
Oh my my, I’m your ice cream man, stop me when I’m passin’ by.
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy.
Of course I stopped at the truck and got myself a fudgesicle. It cost a dollar. The fudgesicle was not like the ones from many years past, but it was acceptable. A little pricey for a dollar but on a hot humid day, it seemed like a reasonable price.I remember as a lad running up the street for the ice cream man with his truck slowly crawling playing that loud obnoxious carnival music. Fudgesicles were only a nickel back then, but then again, nickels were hard to come by. I would sometimes round up several pop bottles and return them to the grocery store for the two cents per bottle return deposit and then wait for the ice cream man on those warm sunny never ending summer days.

Damn, I want a fudgesicle.
