Where does the sentence ';I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream'; originally come from?

It was from an old song:





ICE CREAM


by Johnson, Moll, %26amp; King


as sung by Walter Williams, and the members of Warring's Pennsylvanians








In the land of ice and snow


Up among the Eskimo


There's a college known as Oogie-wawa.


You should hear those college boys


Gee, they make an awful noise


When they sing their 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


Listen what those Eskimo all holler:





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


Rah, rah...Oogie de wawa rah rah rah!


Tuesday, Monday, we all scream for Sundae!


Sis, boom, Aurora borealea, bah!


Boola boola


Sasparoola


We've got the chocolate


I'll take vanoola


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


Rah, rah, ice cream soda or gingerale pop!








Father mother


Sister brother


When they've had one at lion


They want another





Colleges may come and go


But the world will never know


Any other place like Oogie-wawa


Oxford, Cambridge, Eaton too


Football teams would all turn blue


When they played a game with Oogie-wawa


Those Esquimos looked mighty tough when they took the field


And people said, Ah, they're the team that never will yield


Then with gore and flying fur


Just to show how tough they were


All those Esquimos began to holler





Iceberg, Lindberg, Sol Berg and Ginzberg,


Ice cream Cohen.


I scream, you scream, everybody wants ice cream.


Rah, rah, raaazberry!Where does the sentence ';I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream'; originally come from?
I found In 1927, Americans were not only eating ice cream, they started singing about it, as the ';Ice Cream song'; (';I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!';) was written by Billy Moll, Howard Johnson, and Robert King.





Is this THE Howard Johnson of restaurant fame?Where does the sentence ';I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream'; originally come from?
There was a top 10 song way back in 1928 ';I Scream-You Scream-We All Scream-For Ice Cream'; by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians. So the saying goes at back at least almost 80 years.
Someone with too much time on their hands. They could have been eating ice cream seeing how they are so passionate about it.
One kid saw another kid getting a ice cream and got angry because he did not get one and screamed then took that kids icecream and the ice cream man said you scream I cam SCREA and we all scream for Ice cream! The kids were happy then.
I'm preeettty sure it was Baskin Robbins (sp??), but i will double check.
