Summer Fun
During Summer, exactly at eight o'clock
Fred's chiming ice cream truck
came down my busy block...
it was time to do the Playboy's Rock!
I began the chorus of a very funny song with perfect rhyme,
" The shortest ones in front of the yellow line,
then the tallest ones behind those with cheeks of color wine;
each one of you must name a favorite ice cream that costs a dime! "
" Ah, Ah " was their reply to my request,
I replied with a bitter, disappointed voice,
" That's how you react being a guest?
Once you refuse to name it, no second chance! "
" To get your free ice cream, kiss me as the Beauty kissed the Beast! "
and say, " Thank you! Aren't you a boy so charming and sweet? "
Come on pretty girls, sing the Playboy's Rock...the same way Elvis
sang, " Jailhouse Rock! " swinging frantically his skinny feet!
