Egg Cream Lyrics by Lou Reed

Egg Cream Lyrics

    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
