I remember the bright
melody of it's chimes,
As kids hollered,
"Hey mom, got some
nickels or dimes,"
Then that white knight
on wheels, decal plastered,
Drove s l o w l y,
Bringing sweet, icy treats,
thirsty children found holy,
.
In lopsided runs
with coins clenched
in their hands,
They came gazing
at the pictures,
And yelled their demands,
"Gimme Fudgesicles
or an Orange Pushup,"
they'd scream,
As their cash went
clink-clank in his
coin-change machine

Chorus--

If there's any place
at all that I'd rather be,
it's back in that
summer of '63,
shaking my piggy bank
for a nickel or two,
and sharing a sweet
orange creamsicle with you.


Back when he'd grab that door
with the big, metal latch,
icy mists from it poured
as he opened the hatch,
Each child's eyes grew as sharp,
as a prowling young fox is,
as he reached deep inside,
and he rustled those boxes,
.
Then he'd pull out
a brightly wrapped,
treat-on-a-stick,
that was grabbed, and was gone,
.........like the kid,
Oh, so quick!
To the shade of a tree,
where they'd soon meditate,
on the sugary taste
of the ice cream they ate,

Bridge-Ice cream truck music
.
Then the white truck
into summer's heat,
L u m b e r e d o n
Leaving pleasurable chills,
in the places it'd gone.

Chorus-

Though I'm much older now
I am wishing at times,
That once more I could hear
the bright sound of its chimes,
running ageless once more,
back through fond memories,
for a chocolatey fudgesicle
under a tree,
for a choclatey Fudgesicle....
under a tree.

Man, that brings back memories - the truck in our neighborhood looked just like that except it was orange instead of blue...

Very cool lyric and nice delivery too - you've got the right voice for that kind of song.

First one of yours I've listened to so forgive me if this ground has already been covered. Is all your stuff acapela?

Scott

Hey Scott, thanks for the ear...no most of my stuff is accompanied by guitar, at least what I am able to play,
I am basically sorting through 300 songs or so, and over 4,000 prospects and trying out music and then working on the chords.
So yeah I do post a lot that is acapella as well. But either way I appreciate your listening and enjoyment of the song~~~MFB III
