Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon
They call it Sam's song
It's catchy as can be, the melody
They call it Sam's song
Nothing on your mind
And then you'll find you're humming Sam's Song
Why, it makes you grin
Gets under your skin as only a song can do
[Verse 2]
People that you meet out on the street
All whistling Sam's Song
Everyone you see will soon agree
That it's a grand song
So forget your troubles and wear a smile
You'll find you never go wrong
If you learn to croon this happy tune
They call it Sam's song
[Verse 3]
And now another treatment of this Classic American Theme brought to you by, Mr. Gary Crosby
[Verse 4]
Here's a happy tune (That'll bring you a smile all the while)
(When you croon it you're really in style)
And the title is Sam's Song
It's catchy as can be (With a sly little beat)
(And the melody sweet keeps you tapping your feet)
And the title is Sam's Song
[Verse 5]
Nothing on your mind (But the news of the day)
(And the bills you must pay keep your hair turning gray)
(But you're still humming Sam's Song)
"Are you alright, How's your brace"
(Why, it makes you grin)
(Gets under your skin)
(As only a song can do)
[Verse 6]
People that you meet (Hello Joe, what you know)
(And remind me to Moe, tell him business is slow)
(But I'm whistling) Sam's Song
Everyone you see (Has a story to tell or a gimmick to sell)
(But agree that it's swell, and it's really)
A grand song
[Verse 7]
So forget your troubles and wear a smile
You'll find you never go wrong
If you learn to croon like a lark in the park
Who is making his mark serenading the dark
With a chorus of Sam's song
If you learn to croon
The happy tune
They call it Sam's song
