[Verse 1]
           Cm         Bb7         Ab7       G7
Come Clickin' by your house about two forty-five
     Cm       Bb7         Ab7       G7
With Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,
        Cm              F7
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
  G7
A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind
 
 
[Chorus]
                Cm         Bb7   Ab7   G7
'Cause I'm your ice cream man, 
      Cm      Bb7    Ab7   G7
I'm a one-man band
         Cm         Bb7   Ab7         G7
I'm your ice cream man, baby, I'll be good to you.

If you missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
        Cm     Bb7             Ab7       G7
I'll be coming back around and don't forget,
        Cm              F7
When you're tired and you're hungry and you want something cool,
                   G7
You know, I got something better than a swimming pool
 
 
[Chorus]
                Cm         Bb7   Ab7   G7
'Cause I'm your ice cream man, 
      Cm      Bb7    Ab7   G7
I'm a one-man band
         Cm         Bb7   Ab7         G7
I'm your ice cream man, baby, I'll be good to you.

Well, if you see me coming, you ain't got no change
     Cm       Bb7         Ab7       G7
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged
        Cm              F7
Show me you can smile, baby just for me
    G7
Fix you with a drumstick, I'll do it for free
 
 
[Chorus]
                Cm         Bb7   Ab7   G7
'Cause I'm your ice cream man, 
      Cm      Bb7    Ab7   G7
I'm a one-man band
         Cm         Bb7   Ab7         G7
I'm your ice cream man, baby, I'll be good to you.

Hey...this song isn't about ice cream! In all seriousness, thanks for this. If you wanna make life a little easier, capo the third fret and play the walkdown Am, G, F E7
