Dean Martin - 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
