[DM] Here's a happy tune [SD] A happy tune [DM] You'll love to croon [SD] You love to croon [DM] They call it Dean's song [SD] Hey, you don't seem to understand [DM] Catchy as can be [SD] I must agree [DM] The melody [SD] The melody [DM] They call it Dean's song [SD] Looks like I'm gonna have to explain this thing
[SD] You don't dig this scene [SD] I'm saying, Dean, the song is Sam's song [DM] Sam, you're just a ham [SD] But Dean here's the scam [SD] The song was named after Sam [DM] Sam who? [SD] Sam Houston [DM] Oh
[DM] May I say with pride where I reside [DM] They call it Dean's song [SD] And that's quite a group you have going for you [DM] There's no bigger choir that you could hire for singing Dean's song [SD] They make the Mormon Tabernacle sound like a trio [DM] Sam it's plain to see that you're put out with me [SD] Well I'm not just singing along [DM] Tell you what I'll do since I'm with you ([alternative:] Tell you what I'll do, since you're a Jew...) [DM] We'll call it Clyde's song [SD] Clyde's song?
[DM] Here's a happy tune [SD] Its a sweet melody and I'm happy to say it was named after me but he's calling it [DM] Clyde's song [DM] Catchy as can be [SD] No I don't like to beef and I'm sorry to say the man is a thief 'cause he's calling it [DM] Clyde's song
[DM] Nothing on your mind [SD] There's a lot on my mind and I'm standing here saying you're being unkind 'cause you're calling it [DM] Clyde's song
[SD] My Italian friend we have reached the end [DM] We don't seem to blend [DM] Sam, let's compromise [SD] Oh, I hear what you say but by that do you mean that you'll do it your way and call it [DM] Sam's song
[SD] Did he say Sam's song? [Both] Let's give the ending a rhyme [DM] But don't nobody tell Clyde [Both] That the name of this song [DM] is Sam's song [SD] It's not Irving's song [DM] Sam's song [SD] It's not even Mona's song [DM] Sam's song [SD] Only thing I know is when this record comes out it better have Sam's song on it or else you'll get a nasty letter from Calhoun and a telephone call too [DM] Hmmm I'm thinking you're starting to get dirty down there
