Verse:

Strange, what a change romance can bring,
All at once the world seems so gay;
I never knew the joy of spring,
Then he came my way,
That boy came my way;

Chorus:

The moment that he looks at me,
It thrills me through and through;
I feel so helpless in his arms,
There's nothing I can do.
He's handsome and he's charming,
And he's so repulsive, too,
I'm simply mad about my Sam.
I'm certain that my world would end
If we should ever part;
His figure is so masculine,
It's just a work of art;
I know he's stronger than an ox,
What's more, he's just as smart,
I'm simply mad about my Sam.
His kiss can set me all aflame,
How wonderful he is;
He hasn't a button to his name,
But all that I have is his, "Gee whiz!"
You'll always find me close to him,
For that's where I belong;
And when his lips are pressed to mine,
My life becomes a song;
If you think he's obnoxious,
Who am I to say you're wrong?
I'm simply mad about my Sam!
I am completely mad about my Sam.
