Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Telegram Sam, Telegram Sam
You are my main man
[Verse 2]
Golden Nose Slim, Golden Nose Slim
I knows where you been, oh
Purple Pie Pete, Purple Pie Pete
Your lips are like lightning, girls melt in the heat
[Verse 3]
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
[Verse 4]
Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright
He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Jungle-faced Jake, Jungle-faced Jake
I say make no mistake about Jungle-faced Jake, Jake
[Verse 5]
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
[Verse 6]
Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright
He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Automatic shoes, automatic shoes
Give me 3D vision and the California blues
Me, I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair
[Verse 7]
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
Telegram Sam
You're my main man
[Verse 8]
Telegram Sam
Telegram Sam, I'm a howling wolf, a-woo
Telegram Sam, I'm a howling wolf, a-woo
Telegram Sam, I'm a howling wolf, a-woo
Telegram Sam, I'm a howling wolf, a-woo
