Sammy says he lost his call
On the day Cousteau had died
With Jacques Yves as a guide
Sammy says the water's safe
That man should not have left the seas
Called the Human Bathyscaphe
He's King of Expertise
{section: Refrain}
So if someone wants to know
And asks you where I am
You say you saw me go
For a swim with Sam
Sammy says they call him "nice"
And that it makes him really sick
That his "nice" is like "polite"
And silence does the trick
Sammy says he'd like to go
Somewhere far away from here
To a sea that no one knows
To completely disappear
{section: Refrain}
So if someone wants to know
And asks you where I am
You say you saw me go
For a swim with Sam

in the bridge instead of the cadd9 you could try a C, just what suits you better
Don't try to talk me out of this
"The sea has many drops of water
But the salt won't let you taste the sweet"
(2x)
Don't try to talk me out of this
"Don't go, don't go, don't go ..."
Not while I'm here in Carla's seat
"Don't go, don't go, don't go ..."
(2x)
