Ice Cream for Crow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so hot, looks like you have three beaks, crow
The moon's so full, white hat on a pumpkin
You know there's something
The moon was a stone's throw
Stop the show, I need to say hello to the crow
Light the fire piano
The moon showed up and it started to show
Tonight there'd be ice cream
Ice cream for crow
Ice cream by night, sun cream by day

[Verse 2]
Ice cream for crow
Ice cream by night, ice cream by day
The sun ain't stable
Ice cream for crow
Crow Pants, the scarecrow, Crow dance', ah, ho, ho
Crow dance' a' panther, scarecrow, you answer
You can hee and haw, laugh and scratch
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha

[Verse 3]
Boss and toss
Don't shake my hand, give me your claw
Two tears in a haystack, scarecrow, get back
Tonight there'd be a feather treatment
Beneath the symbol we'll all assemble
Oh how we'll fly, oh how we'll tremble
Cut the cake, we'll all get well
Turn up the speakers, hop, flop, squawk
It's a keeper - ice cream for show
Oh! Ice cream for crow
Now, now, now, that's it
Now you can go!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
