Lyrics Sam's Song - Sammy Davis Jr. | Dean Martin

D: Here's a happy tune S: A happy tune
D: You'll love to croon S: You love to croon
D: They call it Dean's song S: Hey, you don't seem to understand
D: Catchy as can be S: I must agree
D: The melody S: The melody
D: They call it Dean's song S: Looks like I'm gonna have to explain this thing
S: You don't dig this scene
S: I'm saying, Dean, the song is Sam's song
D: Sam, you're just a ham S: But Dean here's the scam
S: The song was named after Sam
D: Sam who?
S: Sam Houston
D: Oh
May I say with pride where I reside
They call it Dean's song And that's quite a group you have going for you
There's no bigger choir that you could hire for singing Dean's song
They make the Mormon Tabernacle sound like a trio
Sam it's plain to see that you're put out with me
Well I'm not just singing along
Tell you what I'll do since I'm with you (Tell you what I'll do, since you're a Jew...)
We'll call it Clyde's song Clyde's song?
Here's a happy tune
Its a sweet melody and I'm happy to say it was named after me but he's calling it
Clyde's song
Catchy as can be
No I don't like to beef and I'm sorry to say the man is a thief 'cause he's calling it
Clyde's song
Nothing on your mind
There's a lot on my mind and I'm standing here saying you're being unkind 'cause you're calling it
Clyde's song
My Italian friend we have reached the end
We don't seem to blend
Sam, let's compromise
Oh, I hear what you say but by that do you mean that you'll do it your way and call it
Sam's song
Did he say Sam's song?
Let's give the ending a rhyme
But don't nobody tell Clyde
That the name of this song is Sam's song
It's not Irving's song
Sam's song
It's not even Mona's song
Sam's song
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 Calhoun and a telephone call too
Hmmm I'm thinking you're starting to get dirty down there
