My mama said if I'd be good she'd send me to the store She said if I would sweep the floor and watch the telephone That she would send me out to buy a chocolate ice cream cone And so I did..the things she said...and she made me...some Gingerbread bread Then I went out...all by myself...and bought a chocolate ice cream cone [ guitar ] Welllll...coming back I stumped my toe upon a big old rock And need I tell you that I dropped my chocolate ice cream cone A mean ole doggy came along and took a great big lick And so I hit that mean old dog with just a little stick Then he bit me where I sit down and he chased me all over town And now I'm lost...can't find my home all because of a chocolate ice cream cone [ guitar ]
