Come on and hear the Yam man cry Any Yam today? The sweet potatoes that he'll fry Will be Yam today
The little step that you see him do With every Yam that he sells to you It's something that you ought to try Come and Yam today
Come get what I've got It will hit the spot Get your sweet and hot Yam
Raise your hand and sway Like you hold a tray When you're on your way Yam....
Come on and shake your depression And let's have a Yam session There's that long note One, two, three, Yam Every orchestra in America Will be doing the Yam
I didn't come to do the Charleston I didn't come to Bell the Jack I didn't come to do The Suzy-Q Or do the Bottom they call Black
I didn't come to do Big Apple I didn't come to do the Shag But honey, here I am to do the Yam 'Cause the Yam is in the bag
