I scream. You scream.

It’s I-Day for A-Z bloggers. And the letter “I” cannot rightly stand for anything but ice cream. 

I insist.

I scream.

You scream.

We all scream for ice cream.

Everyone knows those lines, but most folks don’t know they started with a popular song in the 1920s by Johnson, Moll, and King.

Take a listen to “I Scream. You Scream. We All Scream for Ice Cream.”

 .

Here are the lyrics to “I Scream. You Scream. We All Scream for Ice Cream,” in case you missed them.

Oh! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

In the land of ice and snows
Up among the Eskimos,
There's a college known as Ogiwawa!
You should hear those college boys,
Gee, they make an awful noise
When they sing an Eskimo tra-la-la!

They've got a leader, big cheerleader,
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 45 below,
This is what the Eskimos all holler:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes,
Sis-boom-bah!
Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla,
If you got chocolate, we'll take vanoola!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Frosts and malts that are peppered and salted,
Sis-boom-bah!
Oh, spumoni, oh, cartoni,
And confidentially, we'll take baloney,
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah! 

Craving ice cream yet?
