I was a
Good Humor Man.
Lost my job
Got drafted
I can never
go back again
Lost my
Good Humor
Lost $80.00
a week
Can never
Have it again
You gain
Goodwill
being a Good Humor
Man.
You establish a route
You make friends
I lost them all:
My bike my cart
my bell
are all gone now
My smile too.
All my friends
cried
on the Last Day.
On the Last Day
I gave all my
ice cream away
Free
to all my friends
They still cried.
I did too
Came Home with
an Empty Cart
and my Boss said
“Good
All sold.
“I said
“No All Free.”
And cried.
He didn’t cry.
He said
“You owe me $16.00.”
I think his brother
works at my Draft Board.
