Come Here to Me (The Ice Cream Man Song)

I've heard that what you seek you will find

And it's not, it's not like I mind

But what if I'm not so inclined? What then?

I ask, well, I ask is it a sin

If I asked, I asked the wind to fly my kite

Even though I haven't taken it outside

Chorus:

And I say come, come here, come here to me

Why, oh why, why must it be

I am the one who has to find you?

Early to bed and early to rise

May make you so wealthy and wise

But what if I like sleeping past nine, praytell?

I think, well, I think it would be swell

If I could win the Nobel for the books I'd read

When instead of getting up I'd stayed in bed

And I say...

Chorus

If nothing's ventured, nothing is gained

But it's not all so clear and so sane

What if what you gain brings you pain, what for?

What if I asked for a little bit more

The ice cream man to come to my door

And if he hands me a treat instead of having to chase him down the street?

And I say...

Chorus
