There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place
It starts a jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down
You can always find me down at Sam's Place
For that's where the gang all hangs around

There's old shimmy skakin' Tena she hails from Passadena
She always got a big smile on her face
There's old hootchy cootchy Heddy she comes from Cincinnati
Yeah there's always a party at Sam's Place

[ guitar ]
Well they've got a swinging band down at Sam's Place
You can hear 'em picking twenty blocks away
They're playing country music down at Sam's Place
From the setting sun until the break of day

There's old shimmy skakin' Tena...
And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's Place
