There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place It starts a jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down You can always find me down at Sam's Place For that's where the gang all hangs around There's old shimmy skakin' Tena she hails from Passadena She always got a big smile on her face There's old hootchy cootchy Heddy she comes from Cincinnati Yeah there's always a party at Sam's Place [ guitar ] Well they've got a swinging band down at Sam's Place You can hear 'em picking twenty blocks away They're playing country music down at Sam's Place From the setting sun until the break of day There's old shimmy skakin' Tena... And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's Place
