According to the official sheet music, the familiar Mr Softee jingle was written in 1960 and is titled “Mr Softee Jingles and Chimes.”
Hard to know what would be weirder: hearing this sung, or hearing the tune without the weird dopplering of an ice-cream truck that doesn’t see you running after it and is slowly gaining on you.
The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream
You get from Mister Softee
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister SofteeMy milkshakes and my sundaes and my cones are such a treat
Listen for my store on wheels ding-a-ling down the streetThe creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream
You get from Mister Softee
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister SofteeS-O-F-T Dubble-E
Mister Softee!
