All She Gets From The Iceman Is Ice 1907

One fine day the sun was shining hot,
Jane was standing on the corner lot,
Saw the iceman slowly going by,
As he looked he winked his eye.
After that in any kind of weather,
He and Jane would always be together,
Till one night he called her his divinity,
also his affinity!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!

So one day when merry birds did sing,
they were married
bells went dingaling
for his rent he didn't have the price,
So he gave the landlord ice.
Folks who love may call each other "honey"
But you can't get on without the money.
Then tho' married life as first was very sweet,
still the IceMan got cold feet!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!

Well, in time she had to go to court
he left her,
she sued for nonsupport,
Court said: "Mister Iceman, listen then,
Every week you'll hand her ten!"
Time's gone by and tho' she hates to say it
Alimony he don't ever pay it.
So at last she acted on a friend's advice
and she takes it out on ice!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!

The iceman is a nice man
but just one thing is sure,
there's something in his bus'ness
that affects his temp'rature
Oh! Love is such a funny thing,
for she found out, once or twice
all she can get from the Iceman
is Ice! Ice! Ice!
