It was a beautiful shirt- the best in town
I had a suit and tie on--I was hungry
The stand went by and I thought of eatin'
Just a snack today I was buyin'

Yeah, runny brown ice cream
That never would come out clean
Droppin' that cone on me
Goin' wherever it leaks
That runny brown ice cream

It felt so cold, I wish I'd found it tossable
I tried washing it and rubbed cloth
I tried three days, the shirt was unwashable
Was a total loss, no more mine

Yeah, runny brown ice cream
That never would come out clean
Droppin' that cone on me
Goin' wherever it leaks
That runny brown ice cream

I bought one, as the stores grew dark
I put it on my seat, on my way home
Then I noticed it, now another stain
It's picking up, from the tie and coat

Yeah, runny brown ice cream
That never would come out clean
Droppin' that cone on me
Goin' wherever it leaks
That runny brown ice cream
