I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream (Howard Johnson, Billy Moll, Robert A. K. King)

Transcribed from vocals by Tom Stacks performing with Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks, recorded January 14, 1928;

Oh!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

In the land of ice and snows
Up among the Eskimos,
There's a college known as Ogiwawa!
You should hear those college boys,
Gee, they make an awful noise
When they sing an Eskimo tra-la-la!

They've got a leader, big cheer leader,
Oh, what a guy!
He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie!
When he says, "Come on, let's go!"
Though it's forty-five below,
This is what the Eskimos all holler:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes,
Sis-boom-bah!
Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla,
If you got chocolate, we'll take vanoola!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Frosts and malts that are peppered and salted,
Sis-boom-bah!
Oh, spumoni, oh, cartoni,
And confidentially, we'll take baloney,
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Yes, the bottom 5 keys are T'd an octave above.

Because this is an 88 note Themodist/Solodant 'snakebite' piano I wish to be able to play Duo-Art rolls on it without the D-A intensity tracks triggering anything except the accents. Also beefs up the bass for regular 88s and who doesn't like that? LOL Dave.

OMG, I have childhood memories of this do. At a friend's house one day, in Phoenix, a summer's day, she started begging her dad for ice cream. He told her he couldn't really afford it, she begged some more and then he started singing this song.
