ICE CREAM SONGS
"I Scream,
You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream" is maybe the most well-know ice
cream song. It was written by song lyricist Howard Johnson (June 2, 1887-May 1,
1941) He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.
Songwriter,
author and lyricist, Johnson was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, and died in
New York, New York. He was educated in high school and in private music study.
Johnson was a pianist in Boston theatres, and then a staff writer for a New
York publishing company. During World War I, he served in the United States
Navy.
The song was actually recorded in 1929 by a
group called “Waring’s Pennsylvanians.” As the name implies, the band was from Pennsylvania (the
founder and leader attended Penn State ) and included as many as 12 members.
The band and
choral group was most popular in the 1920s and 1930s but continued to exist and
sing until Fred Waring's death in 1984.
The group was formed in 1918 as a band at
Pennsylvania State University by the brothers Fred and Tom Waring, and their
friends Freddy Buck and Poley McClintock.
They began
playing at colleges, fraternity parties, proms, etc. and later went on to play
in theaters.
They had a big
hit in 1925 with the song "Collegiate", probably their best known
song. Other popular novelty songs were "I've Never Seen a Straight
Banana", "I Wonder How I Look When I'm Asleep" and ofcause "I
Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream."

Music videos
The music video for the song features
Cazwell with a group of sweaty, muscular young men, dressed in their underwear.
Throughout the video they dance erotically, occasionally showing their
buttocks, and suggestively lick popsicles. Because of the provocative nature of
the music video, YouTube has flagged the video for adult content.
Ice Cream Truck lyrics
Meet me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I'll whip out my Drumstick
that will make your eyes gleam
lick
it up quick - before it melts on the floor
I
got it!
uno-dos-tres-cuatro gimme some more OK!
Meet
me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I can test out my luck
you can play on my team
let's do the banana split
on the dance floor Got it!
uno-dos-tres-cuatro gimme some more OK!
I met him at the school yard 'round quarter to three
we went out for cheeseburgers with extra
cheese
I get my french fries crispy ketchup on the
side
and when it comes to dessert this is how i
ride I said
Meet me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I'll whip out my Drumstick
that will make your eyes gleam
lick it up quick - before it melts on the
floor
I got it!
uno-dos-tres-cuatro gimme some more OK!
You know where to find me from May to July
I'm on the sidewalk chillin' lookin' all
kinds of fly
sometimes I get low sometimes I get high
I like rainbow sprinkles on my ice cream
pie YEAH RIIIGHT!!
Meet me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I'll whip out my Drumstick
that will make your eyes gleam
lick it up quick - before it melts on the
floor
I got it! uno-dos-tres-cuatro gimme some
more OK!
Meet
me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I can test out my luck
you can play on my team
let's do the banana split on the dance
floor Got it!
uno-dos-tres-cuatro gimme some more OK!
