sam
(Ginny Clee/Pete Smith)

sam is a man
who might have a plan
at least that’s what his parents are hoping
sam he’s a skater
a flying escalator
his A’s could be straighter
he’s a cross between god and a scarecrow
half boy half shooting star
he’s a cross between god and a scarecrow
if you know what I mean
long and thin like a bean
he’s so cute it’s obscene
put him down you don’t know where he’s been
cos he’s just 17

sam he’s just 17
so grown up and so green
he’s dirty and he’s clean
not yet a river more a wondering stream
he’s a cross between god and a scarecrow
half boy half shooting star
he’s a cross between god and a scarecrow
if you know what I mean
sometimes kind sometimes mean
he’s a boy in between
lost in growing up dreams
and he’s just 17
