Egg Cream

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

Stir it up into the a heady froth, 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

I think there's Ken's in Boston, there must be something in LA

But Becky's on King's Highway was the egg cream of choice

Hey, if you don't believe me, go ask any other boy, ah

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 fifty cents you got a shot, chocolate bubbles up your nose

Made it easier to deal with knife fights and kids pissin' in the street, ah

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

Ah, you scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

So the next time you're in Brooklyn, please say hello for me

Tatonio's for pizza, ice cream at Al and Shirley's

But most of you go to Becky's, sit in a booth and say, hello

Have some chocolate egg cream, one to stay and to go

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

Hey, you scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

You scream, I steam, oh, we all want egg cream

Higher, higher
