This is based on an actual event in my life...

Long, long time ago
I can still remember
How fudge ripple used to taste so grand
And I knew if I held it right
And kept the cone out of the light
Maybe it would not melt on my hand
But though I thought I was quite tricky
I couldn't keep from getting sticky
Bad news when the top scoop
Fell on a pile of dog poop
And I recall I cried like hell
And wasn't feeling very well
The day my ice cream fell

And I was singing:
Farewell, I thought you were swell
But in a test for the best it was too soon to tell
I was standin' there a-holdin' just the sugary shell
The day my ice cream fell
