Richard & Linda Thompson - Hokey Pokey (The Ice Cream Song) lyrics

Thompson Little boy running and the little girl too Got the money tucked up in their hand Over the wall and down into the street Give your man to the hollering man Give your man to the hollering man Everybody runs for Hokey Pokey Hear the ringing on the ice-cream bell He's got the stuff that'll cool you right down It's the best that they ever did sell It's the best that they ever did sell Girl on the corner with the tight dress on You know she don't know nothing so fine Feels so good when you put it in your mouth Sends a shiver all down your spine Sends a shiver all down your spine "Cat got your tongue" says Frankie to Annie "Girl you haven't said a word all night" Well Annie she smiled and she took another bite Hokey Pokey made her feel all right, all right Hokey Pokey made her feel all right Well some like it round and some like it flat And some like a poke or two But everybody runs for Hokey Pokey It's the natural thing to do It's the natural thing to do Down in the prison, number 999 Working like a bee in a hive He's still dreaming of Hokey Pokey Helps to keep that boy alive Helps to keep that boy alive Boss man he says to choir-boy Rocky Don't you sing to the boys in blue Or you won't get no more Hokey Pokey By the time we're through with you By the time we're through with you Fellas in the alley all look like girls With their lipstick and their high-heeled shoes Feel so pretty and the boys all say That they know just what to do That they know just what to do
