ICE CREAM DAY
1st VERSE:
Sure is hot I'm sweating quite a lot And I kinda sorta thought
Would be nice to have some water in the dry stream.
Can you hear ? That jingle gettin' near a018Round the corner who appears ?
But a peddle pumpin' person pushin' Ice Cream I SCREAM....
(CHANTED)(Tacet)
NO MORE WAITIN' TILL IT RAINS MY WAY
I SAVE MY MONEY FOR AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT EH ? SO I'D SAY
CHORUS:
IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT AND SUNNY WEATHER IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY
AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
REALLY NOTHIN' BETTER THAN AN ICE.... CREAM.... DAY
2nd VERSE:
Sprinkler's on, we run across the lawn, and we jump it off and on,
Though it's cooling it'll never make our eyes gleam
At the beach We're burning up our feet a018Cos the shade is out of reach
Better beg a bigger bucket full of Ice Cream I SCREAM
(CHANTED)(Tacet)
NO MORE WAITIN' TILL IT RAINS MY WAY
I SAVE MY MONEY FOR AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT EH ? SO I'D SAY
CHORUS:
IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT AND SUNNY WEATHER IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY
AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
REALLY NOTHIN' BETTER THAN AN ICE.... CREAM.... DAY
Sure is hot (modulate)
3rd VERSE:
Cone or bar At home or in the car Doesn't matter where you are
There is nothin cooler anywhere that I've seen
Spread the word, and tell a018em what you heard, any flavour you prefer,
We can beat the heat completely with some ice cream I SCREAM....
NO MORE WAITIN' TILL IT RAINS MY WAY
I SAVE MY MONEY FOR AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT EH ? SO I'D SAY
CHORUS:
IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
HOT AND SUNNY WEATHER IT'S AN ICE CREAM DAY
AN ICE CREAM DAY AN ICE CREAM DAY
REALLY NOTHIN' BETTER THAN AN ICE.... CREAM.... DAY
(Repeat chorus and end ?)
