Telegram Sam, Telegram Sam, you are my main man
Golden Nose Slim, Golden Nose Slim, I knows where you been, oh

Girls melt in the heat, yeah

Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Telegram Sam, you're my main man, oh

Bobby's all right, Bobby's all right, he's a natural-born poet, he's just outta sight

Automatic shoes, automatic shoes, give me 3D vision and a California blues
Me I funk but I don't care, I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair

Telegram Sam, you're my main man, oh
