Ice Cream

A girl runs out yelling” ice cream”
 For the colorful truck to wait
As she leaves the window
And hurriedly runs out the gate

The beautiful music that plays
All the kids knows it so well
So he always stock up the flavors
That he knows will always sell

He got vanilla, chocolate
Strawberry, and mash mellow
Cherry, coffee and rocky road
Fudge ripple, coconut pine apple

Every one love ice cream
It don’t matter who they are
If they cutting sugar cane
Or are a famous superstar

Bet there is some ice cream
 In everyone fridge at homes
And I’m sure in the cupboard
 Have some ice cream cones

It has so many different flavors
That you could chose from
But it don’t matter to me
Just as long as you give me some

The origin of ice cream
Goes back to china 4th century
When they discover crush fruits
And ice was very tasty

Then they add buffalo milk
And rice mixture boil very slow
Then they keep it frozen 
By packing it in the snow

 Marco polo taste it in china
So he ask for the recipe
Then when he comes back
Start to make it in Italy

But I really not good at history
So don’t know the origin for sure
But when my bowl gets empty
You know I asking for more

In Trinidad we have bee’s ice cream
 The best in the whole world
When we go by Julie house
We will say bring ice cream for us girl

Legends says that bees ice cream
Cause a relationship so end
When a guy eat all the ice cream
And didn’t leave none for his girlfriend

And when she gone in the fridge
He run and hiding like a mouse
When she see he eats all the ice cream
She kicks him out of the house

Yes ice cream is love by everyone
Old, young, and small
When coming to my ice cream
I not sharing none at all
