Egg Cream lyrics
by Reed Lou



When I was a young man - no bigger than thisA chocolate egg cream was not to be missedSome U Bet's Chocolate Syrup, seltzer water mixed with milkStir it up into a heady fro - tasted just like silkYou scream, I steam, We all want Egg CreamNow you can go to Junior's, Dave's on Canal St.And I think there's Ken's in BostonThere must be something in L.A.But Becky's on Kings HighwayWas the Egg Cream of choiceAnd if you don't believe meGo ask any of the boysYou scream, I steam, We all want Egg CreamThe only good thing I remember about P.S.92Was the Egg Cream served at Becky'sIt was a fearsome brewFor fifty cents you got a shot - chocolate bubbles up your noseThat made it easier to deal with knife flightsand kids pissing in the streetYou scream, I steam, We all want Egg CreamSo the next time you're in Brooklyn - Please say hello for meAt Totonno's for Pizza and ice cream at Al and Shirley'sBut mostly you go to Becky's - sit in a booth and say helloAnd have two chocolate Egg Cream - one to stay and goYou scream, I steam, We all want Egg Cream
