Lyrics Jarvis Cocker – Ice Cream As Main Course

Just the chink chink chink as they sink
Another jug of vodka mixed with an energy drink
But back in the olden days
We were cool
In Musso and Frank’s
We ordered ice cream as main course
In a turban of silk
Drinking chocolate milk
With a shot of rum on the side, well of course
Hanging with high culture refugees
You don’t have to be nice
You never have to say please
In the precinct they built a 30’s style bar
And then they put some guy on the door
Just to keep out all the 30’s style people
Yeah, myth made visible
A festival of festivities, yes it is
Champagne for all
I needed someone to explain to me
What it means to be alive
Could you give me a call?
Tank top, no bra
No class, you’ll go far
Yeah that’s par for the course
Yeah that’s a hell of a look
And surely it couldn’t hurt

If I just loosened my belt
And let you steer me (steer me)
Way off course
Ooh we were cool
In Musso and Frank’s
We ordered ice cream as main course
In a turban of silk
Drinking chocolate milk
With a shot of rum on the side, well of course
And sexual intercourse
That’s what it’s all about, of course
After, I’ll buy you dinner
We’ll order ice cream as main course
