Lyrics

Sam Hell

[Verse 1]

Sam invents the you you want to see

Don't believe in predestiny

Bacon you never need to bring home

Sam Hell gets you redeemed

By grace alone

[Bridge]

Sam's the mayor of First Avenue

Nothing goes on he doesn't want to

A wife that wears his 'in' stocking hat

She's known for making good

Gravy and cat

A cat

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Heart attack

Time to eat and pay

Cellulite won't wash away

You never knew if you'd been dead or just old

Sam Hell never gets that cold
