Lyrics - Egg Cream by Reed Lou

When
I was a young man - no bigger than this
A chocolate egg cream was not to be missed
Some
U
Bet's
Chocolate
Syrup, seltzer water mixed with milk
Stir it up into a heady fro - tasted just like silk
You scream,
I steam,
We all want
Egg
Cream
Now you can go to
Junior's,
Dave's on
Canal
St.
And
I think there's
Ken's in
Boston
There must be something in
L.
A.
But
Becky's on
Kings
Highway
Was the
Egg
Cream of choice
And if you don't believe me
Go ask any of the boys
You scream,
I steam,
We all want
Egg
Cream
The only good thing
I remember about
P.
S.92
Was the
Egg
Cream served at
Becky's
It was a fearsome brew
For fifty cents you got a shot - chocolate bubbles up your nose
That made it easier to deal with knife flightsand kids pissing in the street
You scream,
I steam,
We all want
Egg
Cream
So the next time you're in
Brooklyn -
Please say hello for me
At
Totonno's for
Pizza and ice cream at
Al and
Shirley's
But mostly you go to
Becky's - sit in a booth and say hello
And have two chocolate
Egg
Cream - one to stay and go
You scream,
I steam,
We all want
Egg
Cream
