My Mama said if I'd be good
She'd send me to the store
She said she'd bake some gingerbread
If I would sweep the floor


She said if I would make the bed
And watch the telephone
That she would send me out
To get a chocolate ice cream cone


And so I did the things she said
And then she made some gingerbread
Then I went out, just me alone
And got my chocolate ice cream cone


(Instrumental Break)


While coming back I stubbed my toe
Upon a big old stone
Now need I tell you that I dropped
My chocolate ice cream cone


A little puppy came along
And he took a great big lick
And then I hit that mean old dog
With just a little stick


Then he bit me where I sit down
And he chased me all over town
And now I'm lost I can't find my home
And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone


And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone
And all because of that chocolate, chocolate
Chocolate ice cream cone
