Egg Cream Lyrics by Lou Reed

Egg Cream

When I was a young man, no bigger than this
A chocolate egg cream was not to be missed
Some u bets chocolate syrup, seltzer water mixed with milk
You stir it up into a heady fro, tasted just like silk

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

Now you can go to juniors, daves on canal street
And I think theres kens in boston
There must be something in l.a.
But beckys on kings highway, was the egg cream of choice
And if you dont believe me, go ask any of the boys

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

The only good thing I have to say about p.s. 92
Was the egg cream served at beckys, it was a fearsome brew
For 50 cents you got a shot, choco bubbles up your nose
That made it easier to deal with knife fights
And kids pissing in the street

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

So the next time youre in brooklyn, please say hello for me
At totonnos for pizza and ice cream at al and shirleys
But mostly you go to beckys, sit in a booth and say hello
And have two chocolate egg cream, one to stay and one to go

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream, ah
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
