Egg Cream Lyrics - Set The Twilight Reeling - Lou Reed

When I was a young man, no bigger than this 

a chocolate egg cream was not to be missed 

Some U Bet's Chocolate Syrup, seltzer water mixed with milk 

you stir it up into a heady fro, tasted just like silk 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

Now you can go to Junior's, Dave's on Canal Street 

and I think there's Ken's in Boston 

there must be something in L.A. 

But Becky's on Kings Highway, was the egg cream of choice 

and if you don't believe me, go ask any of the boys

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

The only good thing I have to say about P.S. 92 

was the egg cream served at Becky's, it was a fearsome brew 

For 50 cents you got a shot, choco bubbles up your nose 

that made it easier to deal with knife fights 

and kids pissing in the street 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

So the next time you're in Brooklyn, please say hello for me 

at Totonno's for Pizza and ice cream at Al and Shirley's 

But mostly you go to Becky's, sit in a booth and say hello 

and have two chocolate egg cream, one to stay and one to go 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream, ah 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream 

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
