Putting him on ice

I haven’t seen an ice cream truck in years. Do they still exist?

why is it? that a kid with a stereo gets a ticket…..and these guys don’t?

From Van Halen’s Ice Cream Man Song:

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

See all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Wait a second

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups

All flavors and push ups, too

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Wait a second, I got one more

Well, I’m usually passin’ by just about eleven o’clock

See I never stop, I’m usually passin’ by

Just about eleven o’clock, listen here

And if you let me cool you one time

You’ll be my regular stop

Alright (one, two, three)

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups

All flavors and push ups, too

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

They say all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

They say all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

I’m your ice cream man

Stop me when I’m passin’ by

See now, all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

I’m your ice cream man

(Scream it) I’m your ice cream man

(Ice cream man) ice cream man

(Hey baby) ice cream man

Oh my, my

All my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Take it

Ice cream man

(Scream it) ice cream man

(Ice cream man) ice cream man

(Oh my, my) ice cream man

(B-b-baby)

All my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

I say (I say)

I say (I say)

This is supposed to be serious, it originally started out

I say

All my flavors

All my flavors

All my flavors

All my flavors, all my flavours…

I said all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Save your money, pal! You can hear the music a mile away….

Yeah, what was wrong with the little bell going ding-a-ding-a-ling?

We have been fighting our council to allow ice cream trucks back in town. The local ice cream shop owner has too many friends on council. Well, the election is soon and they are all gone.

The paletas man!

I recently heard an ice cream truck go by playing Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, in May.

Ice cream trucks in our area always played “The Entertainer”.

With the price of ice cream in the stores, I shudder to think what the trucks are charging.

I used to tell my Kids that the Ice Cream Truck was out of Ice Cream when the musics playing. They are heading back to the shop to refill

Once I gave a Good Humor man a slug about the size of a nickel for a 5 Cent ice cream bar (1952) . He gave me a ice cream stick with no ice cream. Hey, that’s not ice cream. Hey that’s not a nickel. Very Good Humor !
