If you have a nickel

I like to read the statistics on my site meter. How do people end up at my blog? I especially like to read the ones where a person has done a search and ended up at my blog. I really really really wish the person that entered this search into Google would have left a comment as to why they were looking up this since I have been looking for the rest of the words of this song I learned as a child. Here is the search that the person put into Google and they knew enough about searching to put it into parentheses to get what they were looking for:

"if you have a nickel you can buy a popsicle"

I want to know if this person learned this song with me or at the same school, or if we can find out the rest of the words. I can't remember all of the lyrics and it's bothering me. I know this much

If you have a nickel, you can buy a popsicle,
you can buy it from the popsicle man.
You can have any flavor that you wish or you favor,
You can buy it from the popsicle man.

And then there is another part and I know there comes a part where there is a ring a ling a ling a ling (as the popsicle man's truck goes by)

So...... if you ever put this into a search engine and you come across this posting, please leave a comment as to where you KNOW this song from, and if you know any more of it.

At this point on Google, my blog is the only one that pops up with that entry. The words to the lyrics are my quest. I can provide the tune.

I learned this tune in elementary school in Los Angeles.

If you have a nickel
You can buy a popsicle
You can buy it from
The popsicle Man
You can have any flavor
That you wish or you favor
All you do is ask the popsicle man

When he comes down the street
With his ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
All the children start laughing
And then they all begin to sing:

If you have nickel...

I, too, learned this song in elementary school in Los Angeles, with the same lyrics quoted above.

I also found this site by using the Google search you cited.
