The Ice Cream Man

Before I started school; and after During the Texas hot summer time When I heard that jingle playing I only had ice cream on my mind Run home in hopes of a dime or two I hear him coming; don’t dare be slow I’ll be there at the curb when he stops A “dream cycle” please, before you go
