Sammy / I'm Glad I'm Me
Words and Music: Hap Palmer

This is a story 'bout Sammy
His father sent him out to buy bread
But Sammy didn't feel like walkin'
He wished he could fly instead, and he said,

"If I were a bird I would fly to the store,
Fly to the store, fly to the store
If I were a bird I would fly to the store
Fly to the store for my father."

This is a story 'bout Clara
Her father sent her out to buy bread
But Clara didn't feel like walkin'
She wished she could gallop instead, and she said,

"If I were a pony I would gallop to the store,
Gallop to the store, gallop to the store
If I were a pony I would gallop to the store
Gallop to the store for my father."

This is a story 'bout Lucinda and Jose
Their father sent them out to buy bread
But Lucinda and Jose didn't feel like walkin'
They wished they could jump instead, and they said,

"If we were kangaroos we would jump to the store,
Jump to the store, jump to the store
If we were kangaroos we would jump to the store
Jump to the store for our father."

Then Sammy and his friends remembered the bread
And knew they better move along
And as they walked, each one smiled
And made up a brand new song,

I'm glad I'm me and I'm walking to the store
Walking to the store, walking to the store
I'm glad I'm me and I'm walking to the store
Walking to the store for my father.
