Sam's Song - Bing & Gary Crosby

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
