I went on up to Memphis and I walked in the bar
ordered my whiskey and says I've come far up the Mississippi
on the delta queen my name is wham bam Sam drumming king of New Orleans
That's right
And I've been summoned here
By the owner
And you tell him
That wam bam sam
Has come to his rescue
Then I had a drink with the leader of the band
And he told me about the problems that they had had
He said Sam my drummer don't just roll with the flow
Your gonna see what I mean when the girls come out and do their show
I see what you mean
I'm gonna fix that problem
All the girls came out and danced
And then he got mad
Cause the drummer missed the beat like he always
had they would bump and grind but he would drag on slow
I got my sticks and sat down
I said let me show you how it goes
I guess New Orleans is famous for all of its horns
But you got to have a drum If you want to march along
Hey all you saints looking for heavens stare
You need Ik wham bam Sam
The drumming king to lead you there
Let's go boy
And girls too
My name is wham bam Sam
The drumming king of New Orleans
This song ain't for radio or tv
This songs just for my friends and me
Hey all you saints looking for heavens stare
You got wham bam Sam the drumming king to lead you there
