Lyric 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
you stir it up into a heady fro, 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
and I think there s Ken s in Boston
there must be something in L.A.
But Becky s on Kings Highway, was the egg cream of choice
and if you don t believe me, go ask any of the boys

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

The only good thing I have to say about P.S. 92
was the egg cream served at Becky s, it was a fearsome brew
For 50 cents you got a shot, choco bubbles up your nose
that made it easier to deal with knife fights
and kids pissing in the street

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

So the next time you re in Brooklyn, please say hello for me
at Totonno s for Pizza and ice cream at Al and Shirley s
But mostly you go to Becky s, sit in a booth and say hello
and have two chocolate egg cream, one to stay and one to go

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