You scream (Ahh) [Verse 2] Mint chocolate chip, watch me do the dip
Let’s get strawberry, I love it with a cherry
Taste buds explode when I eat the rocky road
My day is lookin’ up after peanut butter cup
I want a waffle cone, watchin’ Game of Thrones
When I need a snack, give me moose tracks
Snow cones, Gelatos, Oreos, I got those
Double scoop? I’m on that, let’s chill out and play that [Chorus] Ice cream, ice cream, I be sellin’ ice cream
I be makin’ ice cream, icy, icy, ice cream

You scream (Ahh)
