[Doris Day - Sam, The Old Accordion Man lyrics]

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 (He just plays chords)
That make you feel grand
(That make you feel grand) they call him Sam
(Sam) the old accordion man
His dreamy chords remind you of heaven
(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
(He plays those chords) like nobody can
(Like nobody can) they call him Sam
(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
(He plays those chords) like nobody can
(Like nobody can) they call him Sam
Sam sam
The old accordion man
