Ice Cream Stand

It's Friday night and I'm feeling like a really big man
With a pocket full of quarters and a snow cone in my hand
I'm leaning on the jukebox, pounding on the arcade games
Watching Sal burn burgers on his world famous charcoal flames

There's a pom-pom squad in the booth in the corner
Shooka-shooka-boom-bah
But Sal rolls his eyes cuz all they drink is water

It's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand
Yeah, it's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand

The Alpha Sig girls just drove in from college
One's got her daddy's car and she's using up the privilege
Her hair's dyed blonde and her lipstick's a frosted rose
She's painting the ceiling with the rouge from her upturned nose

There's a pom-pom squad in the booth in the corner
Shooka-shooka-boom-bah
They're all dreaming about being Alpha Sig girls next quarter

It's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand
Yeah, it's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand

This is better than being at home
This is better than being alone

Johnny's in the lot pitching pennies with the vagrants
They're bleeding him dry but what the hell it's just a couple of cents
Me, I'm living large with a burger on a bar stool
Jawing with Sal and acting like the royal court fool

That pom-pom squad in the booth in the corner
Shooka-shooka-boom-bah
They're getting up to leave and they're primping in the mirror

It's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand
Yeah, it's Friday night at the Ice Cream Stand
