I am the ice cream man known as mellow 
Now would you like to say hello to my fellow 
Me and my amigos sittin' all on a bench 
Somewhere down in Puerto Rico 
Two cocoa honeys step by  
They lookin' manefico so I 
Step to 'em yeah how you doin' 
I took a close second 'cause I knew that I knew 'em 
Bingo let me drop all my lingo 
I make her understand that I am still single 
So honey don't you worry no way

Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little 
Whoop whoop baby baby get down little in the middle 
Surrounded by a big round

You can try any dawn thing I do you that favor 
But later on you got to be here by my side 
Waitin' for a saddle to ride 
We gonna do a thing that's mega

And I don't stop until you scream out my name 
So honey don't you worry no way

Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little 
Whoop whoop baby baby get down a little in the middle 
Surrounded by a big round 

Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little 
Whoop whoop baby baby get down little in the middle 
Surrounded by a big round
