Mexican Ice Cream is a song from Noah's Umbrella.
Julia sings alongside Minnesota while selling ice cream.
Lyrics
Julia: One sunny and hot summer day
To Mexico I pushed my wagon
Painted bright green I raised a cabana I rang my campana
And gave all the children heir ice cream
Para la nina (for the girl)
Children: Helado de pina
Julia: Pineapple ice cream
Para la senora (for the lady)
Children: Helado de mora
Julia: Raspberry
Para el chico Andres (for little Andy)
Crowd: Un Helado con nuez
Julia: Ice cream with nuts
Crowd: Para toda la cuadrilla
Julia: For the rest of the group
Crowd: Un helado de vanilla
Julia: Vanilla! Take it Minn!
Minnesota Cuke: Umm....
Para la nina
That's you
Helado de pina
What's that, pineapple?
Para la senora
Hello Miss?
Helado de mora
Raspberry
Para el chico Andres
Um... Helado con nuts
Nuez!
Para toda la cuadrilla'
U helado de vainilla
That's vanilla I guess... (frustrated) That's it! I'm done! I don't have time to sing and dance, Rattan may be in trouble!
Julia: Sorry ninos, we'll have to finish this later.
Kid: Come back, senor! We will sing the Dance of the Cucumber!
