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
