Ice Cream Man Lyrics

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

'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, baby, I'll be good to you.

If you 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 your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.
'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

Well if 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 your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, and I'll be good to you.
Be good to you, be good to you,
I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, and I'll be good to you
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man ...

Cover art for Ice Cream Man lyrics by Tom Waits

Clickin' by your house about two forty-five by the word clicking Tom means that he was a modern man (however he looks old) by clicking on the computer mouse

I'm a one-man band if you turn band backwords then you get dnab, doesn't make much sence you think, BUT Tom's dog was called Marky, see the connection?

I'm your ice cream man this is obviously a reference to his sexuel preferences, can't blame him for that.

Be good to you, be good to you, By repeating this sentence twice Tom creates a repeating sentence referencing to the Pointer Sisters.

Hehe, satire. Always good for a laugh. Seriously. What an awesome song, though. Not much to interpret

No interpretation, be warned. Stereogum said this song was embarassing, but I think that they are just taking music to seriously. This is such a fun song.
