Marcus: Ice cream away. Ice cream away.
Ice cream away. Ice cream away.
In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
a lion screams tonight.
Hut, hut.
Cyndi: Whoa, Marcus, what are you singing?
Marcus: A Lion Screams Tonight. I heard it this morning and it's now my favorite song.
Cyndi: No, no, in that song the lion sleeps. Why is your lion screaming?
Marcus: For ice cream, of course. You remember - I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Even the lion.
Cyndi: Suddenly I have a headache.
Marcus: That's what happens when you eat ice cream too fast. You get an ice cream headache. Don't eat so fast next time.
Cyndi: But I didn't eat any. *mumbles* You gave me the headache.
Here are The Tokens with the original - the correct - version.
