Lyrics
First time I come to da America,
First thing I see is da icecream cone!
The icecream cone! (4)
And ever since I lick my tongue on eet,
I cannot leave eet alone.
Ah, the icecream cone. (4)
As long as I stay in da America,
I never get tired of da icecream cone.
Eet’s wonderful!
Eet’s marvelous!
As good as any king could get on his throne.
Hats off to the icecream cone!
Three cheers for the icecream cone.
I dream icecream!
I scream icecream!
I’m nuts about icecream!

When I go into the drugstore,
Ah, eet is da wonderful spot!
Dere you find da marble fountain,
With a bill-o-fare cold and hot.
There doctor, sailor or worker
Can sit on a little round seat-a
And buy from the soda jerker
A million good things to eat-a.
When I go into the drugstore,
Ah, it is a lovely spot,
Dere you find da marble fountain
And dishes cold and hot.
You can get chicken hash!
You can get potato mash!
You can get summer squash!
Baked beans, chop suey,
Lemon pie gooey,
Choc’late cake and potted steak,
And corn-a flake and milk-a shake,
And marmalade enough to make your belly ache!
But of all the drugstore, (2)
Of all the drugstore icecream is the Queen. (2)
Ah vanilla! (3)
Ah tortoni! Ah spumoni!
And chocolate! And cocoanut!
Pineapple and pecan!
Strawberry, maple walnut!
Da gift of da gods to da man.
And how about the sodas?
And the banana splits?
Fudge sundae!
Te whipped cream special two bits,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah and Hosanna
When it comes to banana!
When I go into the drugstore,
Where da marble fountains gleam,
There I sit, a royal king-a,
And eat some more icecream,
Some more icecream!
And more icecream.
Hallelujah for icecream!
Hallelujah and Hosanna,
Hallelujah for icecream!
