The Musicians



Since my dad's retirement, he has taken up a lot of hobbies. One is music. He wrote my mom a song called, "Sammy's Smile." Here are the lyrics: *Sung like Bob Dylan.

Sammy's Smile

Because of Sammy's smile
my gal is a goner
It takes Sammy's smile
to cast a spell upon her
Because of Sammy's smile
Because of Sammy's smile

I can fly her to Paris,
take her to Peru
But whatever I try
it still ain't gonna do
Because of Sammy's smile
Because of Sammy's smile

I can lavish her with lobster,
spoil her with a new car
Try to communicate more better
but that don't get me far
Because of Sammy's smile
Because of Sammy's smile

Djyou know we've kayaked in Alaska
we've carnivaled in Belize
Snuggled in Moscow at midnight
But that don't raise her degrees
Because of Sammy's smile
Yeah Sammy's smile

I could valentine her with chocolate
Buff up at the gym
Anniversary her with poems
But I'm still ZIP next to him
Because of Sammy's smile
Yeah Sammy's smile

The guy really can't do nothin'
I've seen him barely crawl
But for my lifetime sweetheart
The dang kid is her all
The dang kid is her all
Yeah Sammy's smile
Because of Sammy's smile

Ohhhhhh, Sammy, you slay me! Can't wait to hear Pop-pop perform Sammy's Smile. We are going to be going down to Wittmann this week to help you guys unload Cal's truck. See you soon! Hugs, Joyce

Those lyrics are so clever! Like father, like son/s--now I know where your brothers got it from with your wedding song.
