Lyrics
Sam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening
Somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering
With the electrical evidence shown to be relevant
Possibly with the exception of Ivory
Everyone else had abandoned the obvious
Chipping away at erroneous garbage
Which definitely is as exciting as pudding
Deliciously spooned from the lap of the ludicrous
Into the mouths of the questionless idiots
Licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling
And flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles
That's the way Sam's played around
That's the way Sam's played
Someone who wasn't related to anyone
Twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
And dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo
That sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle
Is easy as getting a camel to heaven
And Granny transgressing
Had blubbered a bibful of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
That's the way Sam's played around
That's the way Sam's played
That's the way Sam's played around
That's the way Sam's played
That's the way Sam's played around
That's the way Sam's played
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And maybe they had a ridiculous statement
To make about something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
