Sammy here he's a drummer-boy
He likes to play with his toy
He uses brushes and an elbow
That is why we love Sammy boy
He brings us joy
He is a bringer of joy
Oh, what a boy

Building a house from scratch
Takes a mighty load of cash
If you cannot get a loan
You will never have a home
Oh what a shame, all this work in vain

Days ago I could not tell
I didn't know if I was doing well
That is what, and then you don't ask hell
I guess it's never easy, not easy
It left me cold
I felt so old

Starting up from scratch
Takes a mighty load of cash
If you can not get a loan
you will never have a home
Oh what a shame
All this work in vain
