Ellis Paul - Augustus Jackson lyrics

Ooo-ooo Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice cream machine He puts in a little flavor, sugar and ice The he mixes it with salt and cream It taste real nice Ooo-ooo Augustus Jackson was a free black man A chef at the White House for the Madisons He came to Philadelphia when they set him free He started making ice cream on Goodwater Street And the people all came Calling out his flavors by name Ooo-ooo Augustus Jackson invented a way To make his ice cream last for days and days He built his empire up from the ground By shipping ice-cream in tins all over town No matter what flavor you are You can fill up a spoon at Jackson's ice cream bar Ooo-ooo
