Your rating:
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!
