Lyrics

Flat foot Sam bought an automobile
No money down, get a real good deal
Get more to work and ride around town
Ron ask Scummny put his feets on the ground
Oh flat foot Sam, you're always in a jam
Flat foot Sam stole a $10 bill
And go to church, and get it for a thrill
Got 60 days, spend it fine
Thank you jury for being so kind
Oh flat foot Sam, you're always in a jam
Flat foot Sam got him a job
Very same day the place got robbed
Cats got away, they couldn't be found
They took it for Sam, and he gagged him down
Oh flat foot Sam, you're always in a jam
Flat foot Sam playin' a chuckle up game
Dice got switched, Sam got played
He pulled a gun, shot out the light
Everybody hollered "Run for your life"
Oh flat foot Sam, you're always in a jam
Flat foot Sam went on a spree
Met a girl weighed 603
Split all his money, sold all his land
Next thing she did, she got another man
Oh flat foot Sam, you're always in a jam
