Hello, Sammy
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
There's a snake named Sammy
Who forms a letter S each night on stage
(Sammy the Snake slithers onto centerstage)
Folks just adore Sammy
And what's more, Sammy
Makes a SSS SSS sound that's fast becoming all the rage
Sammy: hissss hisssss
This serpent still thrills me
And it just kills me
To hear him hiss S's clear and true
Sammy: hissss
So..turn on your charm, Sammy
Coil yourself around my arm, Sammy
Sammy the Snake, I'll stake a claim on you
Sammy: Hello, it ssss me, Sssssammy
That'ssss the name Mammy
Gave me many yearsss ago when I was hatched
(enter 4 swaying S's with top hats like chorus girls)
S-girls: Yes, he's an old troopa
And he feels supa
'Cause the joys of making noises simply can't be matched
Carol: You make me glow, Sammy
Sammy: Oh?
Carol: 'Cause you're so clammy
Sammy: hissss
Carol: Yes, I'd miss the way you hiss if we should part
Sammy: Yessss
Carol: So..please say yes, Sammy
Sammy: Yessss
Carol: Hit me with another S, Sammy
Sammy: hissss
Carol: Sammy, come snake your way into my heart
Sammy: Oh sssure
Carol: Please say yes, Sammy
Sammy: Yesss!
Carol: Hit me with another S, Sammy
Sammy: Esss!
Carol and S-girls: Sammy, I swear my love is true!
Sammy: Oh?
Carol and S-girls: The only snake for me is you!
Sammy: Oh?
Carol and S-girls: Sammy, come snake your way into my heart!!!
Sammy: Oh yessss! Oh yesssss!!!
