WYNTON MARSALIS
"Ice Cream"
(Howard Johnson/Robert King/Billy Moll)

In the land of ice and snow
Up among the Eskimo
There's a college known as Oogie-wawa.

You should hear those college boys
Gee, they make an awful noise
When they sing their Eskimo tra la la.

They've got a leader, big cheer leader, oh what a guy!
He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie.

When he says, "Come on, let's go!"
Though it's forty-five below
Listen what those Eskimo all holler:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah, rah... Oogie de wawa rah rah rah!
Tuesday, Monday, we all scream for Sundae!
Sis, boom, Aurora borealea, bah!

Boola boola
Sasparoola
We've got the chocolate
I'll take vanoola

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah, rah, ice cream soda or gingerale pop!

Father mother
Sister brother
When they've had one at lion
They want another

Colleges may come and go
But the world will never know
Any other place like Oogie-wawa

Oxford, Cambridge, Eaton too
Football teams would all turn blue
When they played a game with Oogie-wawa

Those Esquimos looked mighty tough when they took the field
And people said, Ah, they're the team that never will yield
Then with gore and flying fur
Just to show how tough they were
All those Esquimos began to holler

Iceberg, Lindberg, Sol Berg and Ginzberg,
Ice cream Cohen.
I scream, you scream, everybody wants ice cream.
Rah, rah, raaazberry!
