There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill    And a certain guy used to go there every day    They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill    Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways      This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'   Headed back to town at the crack of dawn   And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin'    Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on      We knew this certain guy was not a goldminer    Cause he never took a shovel or a pick    He only took a little box of candy    And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick      We tried to follow him to his destination    But he had a secret path and soon he was gone    And he had us all a wonderin' what he was doin'    Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on      I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill    You've probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?"    All I can say in answer to your question    Is the goin's on are still goin' on      This certain guy's still takin' up his candy    He's 99 and all his youth is gone    But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smilin'    And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on    Wish I knew    What in Sam Hill's goin' on    He won't tell us'    What in Sam Hill's goin' on    He just snickers    What in Sam Hill's goin' on
