Ice Cream Man Lyrics

I'll be clickin' by your house about two forty-five
Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band yeah
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you

Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,
When you're tired and you're hungry and you want something cool
Got something better than a swimming pool

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you yeah
'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you

See me coming, you ain't got no change
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged
Show me you can smile, baby just for me
Fix you with a drumstick, I'll do it for free

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you
Be good to you, be good to you yeah
Good to you yeah, good to you yeah, good to you yeah, good to you yeah
Good to you yeah, good to you, I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
Don't you know I'll be good yeah, good to you yeah I'll be good yeah, good to you yeah

What is the Meaning of Ice Cream Man?

Oh, the sweet, serenading sounds of a one-man band who just happens to sling frozen delights! Tom Waits, in his gravelly glory, isn’t just peddling popsicles in this tune; he’s offering a refreshing escape from the mundane. With his "sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise" and a "cherry popsicle right on time," he's not merely cooling off your taste buds but also melting hearts. Beware though, beneath the playful jingle of his truck, lies an offer to fix life’s woes with nothing more than a smile and a drumstick – and maybe for free. The Ice Cream Man is here not just to serve up ice cream but dollops of joy and a sprinkle of mischief. Who knew the daily grind could be so tasty?
