Where does the sentence "I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream" originally come from?

Answer 1

It was from an old song:

ICE CREAM
by Johnson, Moll, & King
as sung by Walter Williams, and the members of Warring's Pennsylvanians


In the land of ice and snow
Up among the Eskimo
There's a college known as Oogie-wawa.
You should hear those college boys
Gee, they make an awful noise
When they sing their Eskimo tra la la.
They've got a leader, big cheer leader, oh what a guy!
He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie.
When he says, "Come on, let's go!"
Though it's forty-five below
Listen what those Eskimo all holler:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah, rah...Oogie de wawa rah rah rah!
Tuesday, Monday, we all scream for Sundae!
Sis, boom, Aurora borealea, bah!
Boola boola
Sasparoola
We've got the chocolate
I'll take vanoola
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah, rah, ice cream soda or gingerale pop!


Father mother
Sister brother
When they've had one at lion
They want another

Colleges may come and go
But the world will never know
Any other place like Oogie-wawa
Oxford, Cambridge, Eaton too
Football teams would all turn blue
When they played a game with Oogie-wawa
Those Esquimos looked mighty tough when they took the field
And people said, Ah, they're the team that never will yield
Then with gore and flying fur
Just to show how tough they were
All those Esquimos began to holler

Iceberg, Lindberg, Sol Berg and Ginzberg,
Ice cream Cohen.
I scream, you scream, everybody wants ice cream.
Rah, rah, raaazberry!

Answer 2

There was a top 10 song way back in 1928 "I Scream-You Scream-We All Scream-For Ice Cream" by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians. So the saying goes at back at least almost 80 years.

Answer 3

I found In 1927, Americans were not only eating ice cream, they started singing about it, as the "Ice Cream song" ("I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!") was written by Billy Moll, Howard Johnson, and Robert King.

Is this THE Howard Johnson of restaurant fame?
