Egg Cream Lyrics - Reed Lou

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 

Stir it up into a heady fro - tasted just like silk 

You scream, I steam, We all want Egg Cream 

Now you can go to Junior's, Dave's on Canal St. 

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 

The only good thing I remember about P.S.92 

Was the Egg Cream served at Becky's 

It was a fearsome brew 

For fifty cents you got a shot - chocolate bubbles up your nose 

That made it easier to deal with knife flights 

and kids pissing in the street 

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 go 

You scream, I steam, We all want Egg Cream
