My mom and my grandmother have sung this one to the kids forever. my momma said if I'd be good she'd send me to the store she said she'd make some gingerbread if I would sweep the floor she said if I would make the bed and watch the telephone that she would send me out to get a chocolate ice cream cone and so I did the things she said and then she made me some gingerbread and now I'm out just me alone I'm out to get me a chocolate ice cream cone now coming home I stubbed my toe upon a great big stome and me, I tell you that I dropped my chocolate ice cream cone a little doggie came along and took a great big lick and then i hit that mean old dog with just a little stick and he bit me where I sit down and then he chased me all over town and now I'm lost cant find my home and all because of a chocolate ice cream cone I wish I knew where this song is from. It would be cool to surprise my mom and grandmother with a copy of it. <G> xponent Sung It A Million Times To My Kid Too Maru rob
