Ellis Paul - Augustus Jackson lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

Uh, uh, uh strawberry chocolate, vanilla ice-cream

Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice-cream machine

He puts a little flavor, a sugar in ice

Then he mixes it with salt and cream and taste real nice

Uh, uh!

Augustus Jackson was a free black man

A chef at the white house for the Madison

He came to Philadelphia when they set him free

He started making ice cream on Good Water Street

And the people OK, calling out his flavors by name

Chorus:

Uh, uh, uh strawberry chocolate, vanilla ice-cream

Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice-cream machine

He puts a little flavor, a sugar in ice

Then he mixes it with salt and cream and taste real nice

Uh, uh!

Augustus Jackson invented a way

To make ice-cream last for days and days

He built an empire up from the ground

By shipping ice-cream in tins all over town

No matter what flavor you are

You can't fill up your spoons in Jackson's ice-cream bar.

Chorus:

Uh, uh, uh strawberry chocolate, vanilla ice-cream

Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice-cream machine

He puts a little flavor, a sugar in ice

Then he mixes it with salt and cream and taste real nice

Uh, uh!
