| 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
|
| You stir it up into a heady fro, tasted just like silk
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
|
| Now you can go to Junior’s, Dave’s on Canal Street
|
| 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
|
| 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 50 cents you got a shot, choco bubbles up your nose
|
| That made it easier to deal with knife fights
|
| And kids pissing in the street
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
|
| So the next time you’re in Brooklyn, please say hello for me
|
| At Totonnio’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 one to go
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream, ah
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
|
| You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream |
