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
