I Am Sam

I wish I could write like Keating King

And play guitar like John Cummings

If I could perform like James Osterburg

Or even sing like Li'l Ring

I'd be a real cool guy

People would know who I am

Or people would ask who I am

I am Sam, I am Sam, I am Sam

Someday I'll play drums like Moe Tucker

And I'll play keyboards like the guy from the Cars

I don't remember his name

And he don't know who I am

I am Sam

That's who I am

My name is Sam

People will know who I am

I wish I could write like Keating King

And play guitar like John Cummings

If I could perform like James Osterburg

Or even sing like Li'l Ring

I'd be a real cool guy

People would know who I am

Or people would ask who I am

I am Sam, I am Sam, I am Sam
