Augustus Jackson Songtext
von Ellis Paul

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream
Old Augustus Jackson′s got an ice cream machine
He puts a little flavor, sugar and ice
Then he mixes it with salt and cream, it tastes real nice
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Augustus Jackson was a free black man
A chef at the White House for the Madisons
He came to Philadelphia when they set him free
He started makin' ice cream on Good Water Street
And the people all came
Callin′ out his flavors by name
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream
Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice cream machine
He puts a little flavor, sugar and ice
Then he mixes it with salt and cream, it makes it taste nice
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Augustus Jackson invented a way
To make ice cream last for days and days
He built an empire up from the ground
By shippin' ice cream in tins all over town
No matter what flavor you are
You can fill up your spoon at Jackson′s Ice Cream Bar
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream
Old Augustus Jackson′s got an ice cream machine
He puts a little flavor, sugar and ice
Then he mixes it with salt and cream, it tastes real nice
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
