From Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks, volume 2, The Old Masters, mb 128.

Oh!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

In the land of ice and snows

Up among the Eskimos,

There's a college known as Ogiwawa!

You should hear those college boys,

Gee, they make an awful noise

When they sing an Eskimo tra-la-la!

They've got a leader, big cheer leader,

Oh, what a guy!

He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie!

When he says, "Come on, let's go!"

Though it's forty-five below,

This is what the Eskimos all holler:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes,

Sis-boom-bah!

Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla,

If you got chocolate, we'll take vanoola!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Frosts and malts that are peppered and salted,

Sis-boom-bah!

Oh, spumoni, oh, cartoni,

And confidentially, we'll take baloney,

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
