Lyrics

I am the ice-cream man known as mellow
Now would you like to say hello to my fellow
Me and my amigos sittin' all on a bench
Somewhere down in Puerto Rico
Two cocoa-honeys step by -
They lookin' magnifico so I
Step to 'em yeah how you doin'
I took a close second 'cause I knew that I knew 'em
Bingo let me drop all my lingo
I make her understand that I am still single
So honey don't you worry no way
I got a truck full of plastics here to stay

Chorus:
Whoop whoop just slide a little
Whoop whoop just ride a little
Whoop whoop baby baby get down
Little in the middle surrounded by a big round

Chocolate banana vanilla flavor
You can try any damn thing I do you that favor
But later on you got to be here by my side
Waitin' for a saddle to ride
We gonna do a thing that's mega
I am havin' way more sex than kiddies playin' sega
And like Noriega I am dictatin' the game
And I don't stop until you scream out my name
So honey don't you worry no way
I got a truck full of plastics here to stay

Chorus
