A MAN WITH A CART
He travels the streets
Pushing his cart
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling
Summer celebration
Calling to children
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling
A break in the day
Stopping the workers
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling
Neighbors gather
Smiling and laughing
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling
On to the next block
Pushing his cart
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling
Sweet relief from the heat
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling.
