sam, the old accordion man

Singer:doris day

in dixieland

there's a musical man

he has a good time just making folks happy

this musical man

is a one-man band

folks have to love him for makin' 'em glad

he doesn't play melodies

just plays blue harmonies

just like nobody ever had

he just plays chords

that make you feel grand

they call him sam

the old accordion man

his dreamy chords remind you of heaven

and they're real chords

according to dixieland

in the evening

by the moonlight

when the sun is down

how those lovers

there'll be lovers

love to hang around

he plays those chords

like nobody can

they call him sam

the old accordion man

old chords

new chords

funny old blue chords

morning

night and noon

say he's got chords

nothing but hot chords

never out of tune

in the evening

by the moonlight

when the sun is down

how those lovers

there'll be lovers

love to hang around

he plays those chords

like nobody can

they call him sam

sam
