PAPERS AND POPSICLES
Benn Cutarelli, Diane Gee

Verse
Up and down the street at twelve years old
Rain or shine bag on his shoulder
Everyday in worn out shoes
Delivering the daily news
I remember one weekend he met that girl
Skating down the walk with a jingle and a twirl
She had a sunny day smile and shiny hair
And the ice cream truck music blew through the air

Chorus
Papers and popsicles
And dreams that come true
Sharing them with a girl that came out of the blue
Papers and popsicles
Enjoying there work
Sweet-ice melting from the scorching sun
A little hard work
And had a whole lotta fun
Papers and popsicles

Verse
Seeing those two kids I remembered my youth
Like that boy I had a paper bag too
I’d walk my route and imagine
The nickels and dimes coming in
I’d had just enough to buy a treat for my girl
Her silly giggle put my heart in a swirl
She had a sunny day smile and shinny hair
And the ice cream truck music blew through the air

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Now we’re retired I set my paper down
I say, Honey let’s take a trip into town
I kind of feel like ice cream
She smiled so sweet

Repeat Chorus

Tag
I met her on a weekend delivering the daily news
