My mama said if I'd be good
She'd send me to the store
She said she'd make some gingerbread
If I would sweep the floor
She said if I would make the beds
And watch the telephone
She'd send me out, just me alone
For a chocolate ice cream cone
And so I did the things she said
And then she made some gingerbread
Then I went out
Just me alone
To buy my chocolate ice cream cone
While coming back I stubbed my toe
Upon a great big stone
And need I tell you that I dropped my ice cream cone
A little puppy came along and he took a great big lick
And so I hit that mean old dog
With just a little stick
And he bit me
Where I sit down
And then he chased me all over town
And now I'm lost
Can't find my home
All because of that chocolate ice cream cone--Family Lullaby
