Sam's Song
1950
Music by Lew Quadling
Lyrics by Jack Elliott

a very pleasant number - played with a lilt as suggested in the score ;-)


verse

There's a fellow name of Sam wears a smile all day,
When you ask him why he grins, he replies this way:

Refrain

Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon, they call it "Sam's Song",
Catchy as can be the melody, they call it "Sam's Song",
Nothin' on your mind and then you find you're hummin' "Sam's Song"
why it makes you grin, gets under your skin, as only a song can do.

[Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon, they call it "Sam's Song",]


People that you meet out on the street are whistlin' "Sam's Song"
Ev'ryone you see will soon agree that it's a grand song;
So forget your troubles and wear a smile, you'll find you'll never go wrong,
if you learn to croon the happy tune, they call it "Sam's Song"

Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon, they call it "Sam's Song",
Catchy as can be the melody, they call it "Sam's Song",
Nothin' on your mind and then you find you're hummin' "Sam's Song"
why it makes you grin, gets under your skin, as only a song can do.

[Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon, they call it "Sam's Song",]


People that you meet out on the street are whistlin' "Sam's Song"
Ev'ryone you see will soon agree that it's a grand song;
So forget your troubles and wear a smile, you'll find you'll never go wrong,
if you learn to croon the happy tune, they call it "Sam's Song"
