Soda Jerk (Give Me Something Refreshing)
By: Noah Eaton
6/18/06

Hey, Mr. Soda Jerk,
what’s buzzin’, cuzzin?

(Ah, hey there, Gunther Toody,
and what can I get for you today?)

(Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray, Pops,
and keep ‘em comin’!)
.
.
.
Give me something refreshing,
give me something great,
give me something refreshing,
to quench me this hot summer day!
Give me something refreshing,
give me something with ice,
give me something refreshing,
that’ll leave me kickin’ on cloud nine!

Hey, Mr. Soda Jerk,
what’s you tale, nightingale,
fix me something,
that’ll make my taste buds wail!
(Illuminate me with your illuminations!)
Puts in time and a half with a belly laugh,
makes music shakin’ each carafe,
just rev up that fountain jet,
and use your imagination!



Give me something refreshing,
give me something great,
give me something refreshing,
to quench me this hot summer day!
Give me something refreshing,
give me something with ice,
give me something refreshing,
that’ll leave me kickin’ on cloud nine!

Watch him work that ice maker,
just like a high school paper maker,
he’s got more stamina,
than a thousand pledge takers!
Watch him work that ice maker,
just like a high school paper maker,
he’s got more stamina,
than a thousand pledge takers!)

Hey, Mr. Soda Jerk,
what’s you tale, nightingale,
fix me something,
that’ll make my taste buds wail!
(Go ahead and razz my berries!)
I’ve got a hot date,
at a quarter to eight,
and I’ve got a bent eight,
that’s got me made in the shade!
(Top this bash with a maraschino cherry!)



Give me something refreshing,
give me something great,
give me something refreshing,
to quench me this hot summer day!
Give me something refreshing,
give me something with ice,
give me something refreshing,
that’ll leave me kickin’ on cloud nine!

(Make it smooth and sturdy,
rich like Richie Rich,
sweet like sugarcane,
mild like Milo & Otis…)
.
.
.
Got any tonics,
that’ll send my tongue down the conga line,
how about a sample,
of Pink Love Potion #9,
or something to agitate the gravel,
make me a souped up goof,
maybe a longneck,
of Siberian sun ginseng brew,
in fact I’m feelin’ a bit outlandish,
can you make a brussel sprouts smoothie,
Ciscoe the TV gardener said if I eat ‘em,
I’ll be as handsome a stud as yours truly,
How about a Purple Yam malt,
or a Turkey & Gravy-flavored potation,
maybe a Kim-Chee infusion,
or a Wild Atlantic Salmon temptation?



(Let me show you how the Soda Jerk does it,
belly up to the bar!)

First, we’re gonna twist it, choke it like that,
twist it, choke it like this,
and then make it crackle out loud,
righto, we’re gonna twist it, choke it,
make it crackle out loud,
split one, shoot it yellow,
shoot one from the south.
We’re gonna twist it, choke it like that,
twist it, choke it like this,
and then make it crackle out loud,
righto, we’re gonna twist it, choke it,
make it crackle out loud,
split one, shoot it yellow,
shoot one from the south!

Watch him work that ice maker,
just like a high school paper maker,
he’s got more stamina,
than a thousand pledge takers!
Watch him work that ice maker,
just like a high school paper maker,
he’s got more stamina,
than a thousand pledge takers!)

(Good luck, kid,
I hope your date is a blast,
don’t forget your mirror warmer,
wow, that sure brings me back…

…how about my Hoboken Special for the road?)

Give me something refreshing,
give me something great,
give me something refreshing,
to quench me this hot summer day!
Give me something refreshing,
give me something with ice,
give me something refreshing,
that’ll leave me kickin’ on cloud nine!
.
.

(ding ding ding)

(Hey, Soda Jerk,
what’s the word from the bird?)

(Goin’ steady, buddy,
how ‘bout a Dusty Miller?)

(Thanks, Pops,
and keep ‘em comin’!)

Ah Noah, Little do you know. As often as we could afford, after junior high was out for the day, we stopped at the local "drug store", sat at the soda fountain and ordered a coke. One day adding vanilla flavoring another cherry. A smile from the good looking young man would set our tiny hearts aflutter. All this for one thin dime.. lol martyjo

Here's some angel lemonade on ice to quench that thirst of yours! Ice Water

btw, I love brussel sprouts! Methinks I'll go make a "brussel sprouts smoothie"! Thanks for the idea!

Bottoms up! Chugger
