Ice Cream Weather
©199? Vikki Appleton Fielden
Not sure when I wrote this; it was during a heatwave in the 90's when I was living in the Detroit area.

A very rough recording can be heard here: Ice Cream Weather

Now the days are hot and humid
and the air is thick and damp
At night I sit in darkness,
Cos it's too hot with a lamp
And it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather (get other singers to echo this line while you hold the last note/syllable of the previous line)
Yes, it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather

Every hour's long and lazy
All I wanna do is sit
With a scoop of cold and creamy
Roll my tongue all over it
Cos it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather
Yes, it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather

Don't wanna walk, or move, or talk
Or read or sleep or soothe or sigh
Feelin' a slow small salty drop of sweat
Silently crawl from my neck to my thigh

Got a million things need doin'
But they won't get done today
Today's a day for wastin'
Watch the minutes melt away
Cos it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather
Yes, it's ice cream weather...
Ice cream weather
Ice cream weather... (everyone together on this last line)
