about

This is simply a nostalgic commentary on some personal favorite goodies that I remember getting from the ice cream truck that drove through at least once a week in summer. There was nothing quite like the frozen goodies that came from the ice cream truck.

lyrics

I still remember when the ice cream truck used to come by our street
I and the other kids would rush to the sidewalk for a fifty-cent frozen treat
Some popsicles had ice cream inside while others had a gumball like a balloon
There were cups with chocolate or strawberry stripes and a stupid flat wooden spoon

Some came in sandwiches, some on sticks
I got so much pleasure from my sugar fix
But nowadays no frozen novelties are worth making unless they come from some kind of TV show
I heard they even replaced some old trucks with minivans long ago
It doesn't matter whether things taste good, it's the stuff that today's kids know
Why did the classics have to go?

(I didn't ask for tasteless garbage. / Even drug store ice cream is boring. DANCE!)

Heading to the mall with half a Dairy Queen
No burgers, hot dogs, or fries, that's what I mean
They still have my favorite concoctions on hand
They know how to meet my frozen treat demand

But it would still be nice if the real food were there
It's hard to find burgers and ice cream for cheap in my town anywhere
At least anything worth eating, I think it's time to find some place with the awesome junk food and all
