about

You could just taste it, you could, the best one you ever had...and then... IT happened....

lyrics

My dad and I went to the park
One beautiful summer’s day
We played a lot and I got hot
I had to have ice cream to stay
Just at that moment an ice cream truck
Pulled into the lot nearby
And started to play an ice cream jingle
That made me want to cry
La la lai
La la lai
We have fabulous wonderful ice cream
La la lai
La la lai
We have fabulous wonderful ice cream
The ice cream truck played a jingle
That I never had heard before

Three scoops I got and then three more
Of chocolate chip and strawberry
And sprinkled on the top of it
Were sparkles and nuts and a cherry
The chocolate syrup was oozing down
As I raised the cone to my face
I must have slipped on that oozing syrup
For the ice cream cone spun into space

Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
To that fabulous wonderful ice cream
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
To that fabulous wonderful ice cream
Oh why can’t I just lean over
And lick it right off the ground?

Now I have seen my share of things
That go disastrously wrong
From girls who’ve seen my underwear
To being caught stealing cookies from mom

But I never tasted an ice cream cone
That looked just perfect like that
That dairy sensation was turned to frustration
As it hit the floor with splat

Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
To that fabulous wonderful ice cream
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
To that fabulous wonderful ice cream

Bye bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye – bye-bye
