Intro: lilent piano playing main progression:

  C5 Bb5 Ab5 G5       5 times --> the chord progression reminds me of

    Ray Charles' "Hit The Road, Jack"...

    Is there any connection?

          C5              Bb5        Ab5        G5

I'll be clickin' by your house 'bout two forty-five

   C5      Bb5        Ab5    G5

Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,

          C5              F5

I got a cherry popsicle right on time,

     G5

A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind.

                C5 Bb5  Ab5 G5         C5      Bb5  Ab5 G5

'Cause I'm the ice cream man,         I'm a one-man band, yeah

I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret

Come back around and don't forget,

When you're tired and you're hungry and you want something cool,

Got something better than a swimming pool

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band

I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band

I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

See me coming, you ain't got no change

Don't worry baby, it can be arranged,

Show me you can smile, baby just for me

Fix you with a drumstick, I'll do it for free

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band

I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

Be good to you, be good to you,

Good to you yeah, good to you yeah, good to you yeah, good to you yeah,

Good to you yeah, good to you, I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you...

outro again with piano/keyboard with main progression
