Sam's Song

(Here's a happy tune) a happy tune

(You'll love to croon) you'll love to croon

(They call it Dean's song)

Hey, you don't seem to understand

(Catchy as can be) I must agree

(A melody) the melody

(They call it Dean's song)

Looks like I'm gonna have to explain this thing

You don't dig this scene

I'm saying, Dean

The song is Sam's song

(Sam, you're just a ham)

But, Dean, here's the scam

The song was named after Sam

(Sam who?) Sam Houston (oh)

May I say with pride

Where I reside

They call it Dean's song

And that's quite a group you got 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'll put out with me

Well, I'm not just singing along

Tell you what I'll do

Since I'm with you (uh, huh)

We'll call it Clyde's song

Clyde's song?

(Here's a happy tune)

It's 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

That 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 simply 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 keep calling 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

(It's Sam's song)

Only thing I know is when this record comes out

It better have Sam's song on it

Or else you gon' get a nasty letter

From Calhoun and a telephone call too

Yeah, I think you was starting to get dirty now there, boy

We gon' have a meeting at the lodge hall

You wanna come by a little later on?

Well, you gotta ask me the right way there
