Make A New Plan Sam (Jazz Blues)

[Intro] Well now Sam, listen here (Yeah Sam!) Yeah Sam, lend an ear (Lend an ear!) [Verse 1] You came in late with a tip of your hat (Too late!) Pocket full of promises, thin as that (No dough!) Talkin’ big dreams, swingin’ small change (Big talk!) Same old tune, same old game (Again!) [Pre-Chorus] I been countin’ days (Too long!) You been countin’ lies (So many!) This little band ain’t buyin’ alibis (No sir!) [Chorus] Make a new plan, Sam (Make a plan!) Make a new plan, Sam (Start fresh!) Don’t you knock, don’t you ram (No more!) Make a new plan, Sam (Yes Sam!) Make a new plan, Sam (Make it now!) Make a new plan, Sam (Don’t stall!) Take your schemes and scram (Beat it!) Make a new plan, Sam..... (So long!) [Verse 2] You said tomorrow you’d make it right (Tomorrow!) Tomorrow’s been missin’ every night (Where’d it go?) Shoes worn thin from runnin’ round (Worn out!) But you never land when the check comes down (No check!) [Pre-Chorus] You got big-time talk (Loud!) With a sidewalk shine (Cheap!) But a five-cent hustle in a hard luck time (Nickel!) [Chorus] Make a new plan, Sam (New plan!) Make a new plan, Sam (Think fast!) Don’t you stall, don’t you jam (No chance!) Make a new plan, Sam (Yes Sam!) Make a new plan, Sam (Make it quick!) Make a new plan, Sam (No tricks!) Take your luck and scram (Outta here!) Make a new plan, Sam..... (So long!) [musical interlude] [Bridge] No more maybes, no more please (No more!) No more borrowed dignity (That’s right!) This joint’s swingin’, the band’s on fire (Hot!) I ain’t got room for a flat tire (No room!) [Break] Yeah Sam (Yeah!) Uh-huh Sam (Uh-huh!) [Final Chorus] Make a new plan, Sam (New plan!) Make a new plan, Sam (Start clean!) No more tries, no more scams (We’re done!) Make a new plan, Sam..... (Yes Sam!) Make a new plan, Sam (Last call!) Make a new plan, Sam (Time’s up!) Take that door, yes ma’am (Exit!) Make a new plan, Sam (Bye now!) ....gee this boy can't take a hint..... [Outro] When you get it straight (Get it straight!) When you understand (Understand!) You can come back cool (Real cool!) With a brand-new hand (New hand!) Till then Sam (’Till then!) Make a new plan (Make it!) [musical ending]
