I heard an old familiar sound
Just on the other day,
Which started me to thinking
In a nostalgic way.
Ringing through the neighborhood
Was the delightful tune.
I found me patting both my feet.
It made me want me want to croon.
Such sound, so gentle and so sweet,
And so very mild,
Took me back to the days
When I was just a child.
With favorite treats less than a buck,
‘Twas the sound of the ice cream truck.
Refrain:
The ice cream truck.
The ice cream truck
Everybody loves
The ice cream truck.
A sound that never runs amok—
The sound of the ice cream truck.
