lyrics
Don't need any bread, don't need any meat
Cuz an ice cream sandwich is my favorite treat
Love it in a cup or in a cone
At the ice cream stand or chillin' at home
It's not about Ben, it's not about Jerry
But all day long, I'm craving Garcia's cherry
Can't stop eating that Blue Bell
At this rate I'll be one big fat cell
Ice cream obsession is a heavy load
I carry it walkin' down a rocky road
Brain freeze is a welcome sensation
It's a chocolate chip cookie dough celebration
Sherbert's fine and froyo's divine
But a hot fudge sundae's how I walk that line
Favorite color ice cream, I'll give you a hint
I like pistachio and I like mint
Butter brickle's my favorite one
I'll eat it all day til it's all gone
Karamel Sutra, that's my jam
Cookies and cream and butter pecan
Ice cream obsession is a heavy load
I carry it walkin' down a rocky road
Brain freeze is a welcome sensation
It's a chocolate chip cookie dough celebration
A DQ Twist makes me wanna shout
A great big Blizzard's what it's all about
My hand's in the freezer way too much
I got frostbite & can't feel my touch
Baskin Robbins, Good Humor Man
Get your ice cream any way you can
Friendly's and Carvel, they work too
As long as I get to Fribble with you
Frusen glädjé and Häagen Dasz
Take my word for it, they're the boss
I'll travel near and I'll travel far
Tell me, what would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Ice cream obsession is a heavy load
I carry it walkin' down a rocky road
Brain freeze is a welcome sensation
It's a chocolate chip cookie dough celebration
