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
