There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place

It starts a jumpin' every evenin' when the sun goes down

You can always find me here down at Sam's Place

For that's where the gang all hangs around



There's ole shimmy skakin' Tena she hails from Passadena

She's always got a big smile on her face

There's ole hootchy cootchy Heddy she comes from Cincinnati

Yeah there's always a party at Sam's Place

[ guitar ]

Well they've got a swingin' band down at Sam's Place

You can hear 'em pickin' twenty blocks away

And they're playin' country music down at Sam's Place

From the setting sun until the break of day



There's ole shimmy skakin' Tena...

And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's Place
