[Intro] X2   [Verse 1] 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        [Bridge] x2 [Verse 2] 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        [Bridge] x2 [Verse 3] 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        [Bridge] x2 [Verse 4] 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        You scream I steam we all want egg cream        You scream I steam we all want egg cream        You scream I steam we all want egg cream        [Outro] x4

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, l'auteur évoque avec nostalgie des souvenirs d'enfance liés à une boisson emblématique, le chocolat egg cream, mélange de sirop, d'eau gazeuse et de lait. Il se rappelle des endroits où l'on pouvait en déguster, notamment à Brooklyn, et il fait allusion aux moments de la vie quotidienne, parfois difficiles, comme des bagarres entre enfants. C'est une célébration des petits plaisirs et des instants simples, où l'egg cream devient un symbole de réconfort et de camaraderie. Les références à des lieux précis soulignent l'attachement à ses racines et à la culture locale, renforçant l'idée que ces petites douceurs nous relient à notre passé.
