Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

Ooo-ooo
Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream
Old Augustus Jackson's got an ice cream machine
He puts in a little flavor, sugar and ice
The he mixes it with salt and cream
It taste real nice
Ooo-ooo

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 making ice cream on Goodwater Street
And the people all came
Calling out his flavors by name
Ooo-ooo

Augustus Jackson invented a way
To make his ice cream last for days and days
He built his empire up from the ground
By shipping ice-cream in tins all over town
No matter what flavor you are
You can fill up a spoon at Jackson's ice cream bar
Ooo-ooo
