LYRICSChorus
Ice cream -
Girl yuh body soft and sweet
Like ice cream -
Put the cherry on top - is all I
need
Chocolate syrup sprinkles and some
Whip cream - my dream
(And it
melting drip drip drip
Lick it up sip sip sip
Banana split split split
Eat it up quick quick quick)
(Repeat)
Verse 1
So ah walk
inside of the ice cream parlour
Just looking - for any flavour
So the counter girl ask me - what I
feeling for
I just want the flavour of love.
Cause ah doh
want no fuss
Ah doh want no fight
Just want the flavour that’s right
If you don’t have it girl
Please - just let me know
Whatever you need w Whatever you
want
I’ll have the flavour you like
I want it now - I have it now
Chorus
_________________
Verse 2
With so much
different things
Inside the parlour
Ah sampling all the flavour
Coconut, strawberry, coffee, vanilla
Ah walking with meh banana
Cause ah doh
want no fuss
Ah doh want no fight
Just want the flavour that’s right
If you don’t have it girl
Please - just let me know
Whatever you need - whatever you
want
I’ll have the flavour you like
I want it now - I'll have it now
Rap
Nothing you
could do - or say to get over
Have you licking - yuh lips and yuh
finger
Stain yuh clothes - it really doh
matter
In the mood because of the flavour
And passion - to please you with
delight
Take ah taste - to tease the
appetite
Want to eat ice cream all day and
night
Down to the cone and all you want to
bite

Edwin “Crazy” Ayoung
“Crazy” - born Edwin Ayoung in 1944, on Maraval Road in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad of a Venezuelan mother and Trinidadian father of Chinese descent, was - in his youth - as skilled and competitive in his country’s national pastime of cricket, as he has been now for years as a world-travelled musician, performing artist and composer.
Though dubbed The “Loveable
Lunatic of Soca,” Ayoung
has time and again not
been given his due in
his native land, yet
remains one of the most
commercially successful
artists on the international
soca scene. An experimentalist,
he pioneered the unique
musical genre known
as Parang Soca and played
a leading role in promoting
Chutney Soca. Crazy
would go on to sing
several monster smashes
in parang soca, including
Muchacha and
Homemade Wine.
A brilliant double-entendre artiste at its best - Edwin Ayoung has delighted in pushing the envelope in his humorous and witty manner. With songs like Paul, Nani Wine and Suck Meh Soucouyant to name but three, this illustrious performer remains a staple in the music world
He’s been ranked in the top three for Trinidad & Tobago’s annual national calypso monarch competition - his best showing being at position two with Dustbin Cover. He captured the prestigious Road March title (the ‘tune for the road’ during Carnival Monday and Tuesday) in 1985 with Suck Meh, Soucouyant.
For the 2019 steelband Panorama season “Crazy” has already been heard on Get Pay. Now, check him out on this track which he has co-written with three colleagues - called Ice Cream.
