Sam`s Song Lyrics

(with Sammy Davis Jr.) 

  

DM)    Here's a happy tune    SD)     A happy tune 

DM)    You'll love to croon    SD)    You love to croon 

DM)    They call it Dean's song    SD)    Hey, you don't seem to understand 

DM)    Catchy as can be    SD)    I must agree 

DM)    The melody    SD)    The melody 

DM)    They call it Dean's song    SD)Looks like I'm gonna have to explain this
thing 



SD)    You don't dig this scene 

SD)    I'm saying, Dean, the song is Sam's song 

DM)    Sam, you're just a ham    SD)    But Dean here's the scam 

SD)    The song was named after Sam 

DM)    Sam who? 

SD)    Sam Houston 

DM)    Oh 



DM)    May I say with pride where I reside 

DM)    They call it Dean's song    SD)    And that's quite a group you have
going for you 

DM)    There's no bigger choir that you could hire for singing Dean's song 

SD)    They make the Mormon Tabernacle sound like a trio 

DM)    Sam it's plain to see that you're put out with me 

SD)    No I'm just not singing along 

DM)    Tell you what I'll do since your a Jew

DM)    We'll call it Clyde's song    SD)     Clyde's song? 



DM)    Here's a happy tune 

SD)    Its a sweet melody and I'm happy to say it was named after me but he's
calling it 

DM)    Clyde's song 

DM)    Catchy as can be 

SD)    No I don't like to beef and I'm sorry to say the man is a thief 'cause
he's calling it 

DM)    Clyde's song 



DM)    Nothing on your mind 

SD)    There's a lot on my mind and I'm standing here saying you're being
unkind 'cause you're calling it 

DM)    Clyde's song 



SD)    My Italian friend we have reached the end 

DM)    We just don't seem to blend 

DM)    Sam, let's compromise 

SD)    Oh, I hear what you say but by that do you mean that you'll do it your
way and call it 

DM)    Sam's song 



SD)    Did he say Sam's song? 

B)    Let's give the ending a rhyme 

DM)    But don't nobody tell Clyde 

B)    That the name of this song     DM)    is Sam's song 

SD)    It's not Pete Epstine's song 

DM)    Sam's song 

SD)    It's not even Mona's song 

DM)    Sam's song 

SD)    Only thing I know is when this record comes out it better have Sam's
song on it or else you'll get a nasty letter from my soliciter(sp) Calhoun and
a telephone call too 

DM)    Hmmm I'm thinking you're starting to get dirty down there
