Small Sad Sam - Phil McLean

Deane/Skylar/RR

Small sad Sam small sad Sam

Here's a tale of a man who was puny and weak

Stood four foot six in his stocking feet

Kinda narrow in the shoulder and heavy in the waist

Everything about him seemed to be misplaced small Sam

Small sad Sam

He slid into town one rainy night

Running like a dog away from a fight

He had a pretty big mouth for a guy his size

And everything he said was a pack of lies small Sam

Small sad Sam

One day he got on a downtown bus

First thing you know there was an awful fuss

They threw Sam off into the street

For trying to steal an old lady's seat bad Sam

Small bad Sam

One day nobody know's what for

An elevator stuck on the eighty fifth floor

Some cables broke and so it's said

That car just hung there by a thread

The women were calm and the men were balm

But Sam screamed and cried like a little child

He squeezed himself through the emergency door

And pulled himself up to the eighty sixth floor

Small Sam chicken Sam chicken Sam

And then instead of helping others get free

Sam said I'm looking out for me

The cable snapped and all the way down

They cursed out Sam when they hit the ground small Sam

Small sad Sam

Now someday Sam is gonna get his due

And when he does I'll make a bet with you

There ain't nobody even gonna pass a hat

'Cause Sam was nothing but a no good cat

Small sad Sam yes small Sam

Small sad Sam chicken Sam

Small sad Sam no good Sam

Small sad Sam

Small sad Sam
