Song Description

Nothing sweeter than "Ice Cream Man" which propels the listener back in time to the dreamy expectations of what was once the best part of the day, long before the rat race of being a "grown up." The song conjures up images of sweet, frozen dreams of childhood memories -- carefree times when the highlight of the day was chasing after the ice cream man, a dime in your hand.

Lyrics

Here comes the ice cream man.

The kids all run . . . dime in their hand.

Rainbow colors everywhere,

and the music fills the air.

Down at the beach in the summer's heat

the sand's so hot it burns my feet.

The waves dance along the sand,

and the birds all sing as loud as they can.

I take a walk with a friend of mine.

Nowhere to go, so we take our time.

A funny smile comes over me

when I think of how it used to be.

Sunshine, a warm summer breeze,

a little child running down the street.

Here comes the ice cream man.

Here comes the ice cream man. Run, run as fast as you can.

Here comes the ice cream man.

I was young and I believed I could be what I wanted to be.

Sweet are the frozen dreams of my childhood memories.

Sunshine, a warm summer breeze,

a little child running down the street.

Here comes the ice cream man.

Here comes the ice cream man. Run, as fast as you can.

Here comes the ice cream man.

Here comes the ice cream man.

Here comes the ice cream man. Run, run as fast as you can.

Here comes the ice cream man. The ice cream man.

Comin' 'round. Kids all run. Dime in their hand.

The ice cream man. Oh, the ice cream man. Oh oo oo oo
