What I Need Right Now – ©2025 John Croizat, BMI
[Verse]
The boss is on my case, says I'm not working hard enough
There’s rumors of layoffs and other scary stuff
Kids need shoes. I need tires on the old truck
And the cost of everything, just goes up and up
[Pre-chorus]
I used to handle stress I confess, flying high and stoned
But these days, oh these days . . . I buy an ice cream cone
[Chorus]
Ice cream cone – single scoop or double
Ice cream cone – keep me out of trouble
Ice cream cone – put a smile on my face
Get me back in the race
What I need right now, is an ice cream cone
Double scoop, better than a double shot
[Verse]
I'd like to take a holiday, a year long – vacation
But that's not going to happen, in my – situation
I try to get away, do a little fishing when I can
But these days, yeah these days . . . I'm an ice cream cone fan
[Pre-chorus]
A little bit of comfort that doesn't cost a lot
That ice cream cone really hits the spot
[Chorus]
Ice cream cone – chocolate or vanilla
Ice cream cone – whatever flavor thrills ya
Ice cream cone – waffle, sugar cone or plain
I'll say it all again
What I need right now, is an ice cream cone.
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Well, it must be pretty nice to be a billionaire
Buy all you want without a worry or a care
With people running ‘round looking after all you own
While you fly off to Rome . . . to buy an ice cream cone
[Pre-chorus]
A taste of the good life available to everyone
I haven't got a yacht, no . . . but I can buy an ice cream cone
[Chorus]
Ice cream cone – mint chip, rocky road
Ice cream cone – coffee, pistachio
Ice cream cone – mocha fudge, cherry
Peanut butter, raspberry
What I need right now, is an ice cream cone
[Ending]
Ice cream cone - that's what I want
Ice cream cone - that's what I need
Ice cream cone - yes, please!!
What I need right now,
What I need right now – yeah
What I need right now, is an ice cream cone
