I've been hitchin' down the highway with the sun upon my back Tryin' to get to heaven without steppin' on a crack Thumbin' out to strangers, well, I've made a dozen friends Been lookin' for a friend like you to take me back to him Take me to the ice cream man, oh, if you've got the time Take me to the ice cream man, oh, I still got a dime Take me to the ice cream man Take me to the ice cream man I remember the bells of the wagon As I saw him turn down heather lane And the sun was a big yellow dragon Burnin' inside of my brain Well, his cool vanilla kisses, oh, they melted me away Kinda like that smile of yours has done to me today And if I'm smilin' back it's just in memory of the few like him Who knew I needed just a taste of love Take me to the ice cream man I can still hear the bells of the wagon Sittin' right here by your side You don't have to slay all my dragons Can't thank you enough, it's more than enough Can't thank you enough for the ride Only take me to the ice cream man, oh, if you've got the time Take me to the ice cream man, oh, I still got a dime Take me to the ice cream man
