ICE CREAM
(Campbell, Herron)

from Anne of Green Gables, The Musical



ANNE: Oh, Diana, I can't wait till we get at the ice cream
DIANA: Anne, you'll love it!

Ice cream
Is anything more delectable
Than ice cream?
Why, even the most respectable
Eat ice cream
It's wonderful on a summer's afternoon
In June.

Ice cream
The recipe's something serious
But ice cream
Makes everybody so delirious
That ice cream
Is certainly worth the trouble that it takes....

ANNE: What does it take, Diana?

DIANA: It takes a tin pail, pack it with some ice
Rock, salt , sprinkle on it twice
Big spoon to see if it tastes nice

ANNE: You're got me aquiver, I'm starting to shiver!

CHORUS: Ice cream
The mixing is most enjoyable
Of ice cream
And no one is employable
In our scheme
You're go to keep on the double till it's set
You bet!

LADIES: Chill, mix, cover it up tight! Turn crank
JOSIE: Can't you do it right?
DIANA: You help!

EVERYBODY: This no time to fight!
keep on the turning and soon we'll be churning out!
Ice cream
Is out of this world for tastiness
But ice cream
Can never be made with hastiness
Ice cream it's wonderful on a summer's afternoon
In June
Ice cream.

ICE CREAM!!!
