I’m your ice cream man  
I’m your ice cream man  
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby  
Ah my, my, my  
All my flavors are guaranteed to satis-fy  
(Oww!)

Diamonds on my wrist, so he call me ice cream  
You could double dip 'cause I know you like me

Ice cream, chillin’, chillin’  
Ice cream, chillin’  
Ice cream, chillin’, chillin’  
Ice cream, chillin’

Her eyes, they shone like diamonds,  
I thought her the queen of the land.  
And her hair hung over her shoulders  
Tied up with a black velvet band.

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile  
Black velvet with that slow southern style  
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees  
Black velvet if you please

Chicago Green, talkin’ 'bout Red Lebanese  
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon  
Give me my release (come on)  
Black Nepalese, it got you weak in your knees  
Sneeze some dust that you got buzzed on  
You know it’s hard to believe  
Thirty days in the hole

In the heat of a summer night  
In the land of the dollar bill  
When the town of Chicago died  
And they talk about it still

When a man named Al Capone  
Tried to make that town his own  
And he called his gang to war  
With the forces of the law

A hot summer night fell like a net  
I’ve gotta find my baby yet  
I need you to soothe my head  
And turn my blue heart to red

Doctor, Doctor, gimme the news  
I got a bad case of lovin’ you  
No pill’s gonna cure my ill  
I got a bad case of lovin’ you

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

Beware the limping cat  
Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws  
Still ripe and fully bloomed  
A rose that’s not from anywhere  
That you would know or i would care

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon  
Little boy blue and the man in the moon

I’m invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone  
She likes to go to discos but she’s never on her own  
I said I’ll see you later and give her some old chat  
But it’s not like that on the TV when it’s cool for cats  
It’s cool for cats (cool for cats)

Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man  
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Top Cat!  
The indisputable leader of the gang.  
He’s the boss, he’s a VIP, he’s a championship.  
He’s the most tip top,  
Top Cat.

On a morning from a Bogart movie  
In a country where they turn back time  
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre  
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running  
Like a watercolor in the rain  
Don’t bother asking for explanations  
She’ll just tell you that she came  
In the year of the cat

Well, my mind is going through them changes  
I feel just like committing a crime  
Every time you see me goin’ somewhere  
I know I’m goin’ outta my mind, yeah

It’s those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes  
Nothing remains quite the same  
With all of our running and all of our cunning  
If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

Welcome to your life  
There’s no turning back  
Even while we sleep  
We will find you  
Acting on your best behavior  
Turn your back on mother nature  
Everybody wants to rule the world
