My mama said if I'd be good she'd send me to the store She said she'd bake some Gingerbread if I would sweep the floor She said if I would make the bed and watch the telephone That she would send me out to get a chocolate ice cream cone And so I did the things she said and then she made some Gingerbread Then I went out just me alone and got my chocolate ice cream cone [ guitar ] While coming back I stubbed my toe upon a big old stone Now need I tell you that I droppedy chocolate ice cream cone A little puppy came along and he took a great big lick And then I hit that mean old dog with just a little stick Then he bit me where I sit down and he chased me all over town And now I'm lost I can't find my home And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone [ guitar ] And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone And all because of that chocolate chocolate chocolate ice cream cone
