*from 'A Gift from a Flower to a Garden' (1968)*


Verse 1:

                       
 Come run, jump, Skip-a-long Sam,
            
 A very happy man I am.
                              
 To know you're well and you're doing fine;
              
 Kinda puts at rest my mind.

Verse 2:

                          
 How's your brush and your lady fair?
                           
 Not to mention your stained glass stare.
                
 Flower pot on a window-sill,
          
 On top of Honeycomb Hill.

Verse 3:

                     
 Have you found the secret door,
                             
 To let you down to the earth's deep core?
                    
 You'll be back in time for tea,
               
 With a diamond to show me.

Verse 4:

                       
 Come run, jump, Skip-a-long Sam,
            
 A very happy man I am.
                              
 To know you're well and you're doing fine;
              
 Kinda puts at rest my mind.

Verse 5:

(Instrumental)

            
 "Sammy"

      ,
      

                    
"Is there a Sammy?"

Verse 6:

                          
 How's your brush and your lady fair?
                           
 Not to mention your stained glass stare.
                
 Flower pot on a window-sill,
          
 On top of Honeycomb Hill.

Verse 7:

                       
   How's your brush and your lady?
                           
 Not to mention your stained glass baby.
                
 Flower pot on a window-sill,
          
 On top of Honeycomb Hill.

Verse 8:

                       
 Come run, jump, Skip-a-long Sam,
            
 A very happy man I am.
                              
 To know you're well and you're doing fine;
              
 Kinda puts at rest my mind.

Coda:

                  
 Come run, jump, skip a-long,
                
 Come run, jump, skip a-long.
                       
 Come run, jump, skip a-long.
