This classic song from the spectacular musical Bugsy Malone has the bouncy vibe that you would want in the pub when you just want a quick drink. Paul Williams did a great job of bringing the flappers to modern days and I think others would agree
[Chorus]
Anybody who is anybody
Will soon walk through that door
At Fat Sam's grand slam speakeasy
Always able to find you a table
There's room for just one more
At Fat Sam's grand slam speakeasy
[Verse 1]
Once you get here
Feel the good cheer
Like they say in the poem
Fat Sam's ain't humble
But it's your home sweet home
Plans are made here
Games are played here
I could write me a book
Each night astounds you
[Pre-Chorus]
Rumors are a-buzzin'
Stories by the dozen
Look around you cousin
At the news we're making here
[Chorus]
Anybody who is anybody
Will soon walk through that door
At Fat Sam's grand slam speakeasy
[Interlude]
(Da-da-da-da-da-da)
(Da-da-da-da-da-da)
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
(Ooh, da-da-da-da)
[Pre-Chorus]
See the politician
Sitting by the kitchen
Said he caught his fingers
In the well he was wishing in
[Verse 2]
Once you get here
Feel the good cheer
Like they say in the poem
Fat Sam's ain't humble
But it's your home sweet home
Plans are made here
Games are played here
I could write me a book
Each night astounds you
[Pre-Chorus]
Rumors are a-buzzin'
Stories by the dozen
Look around you cousin
At the news we're making here
[Chorus/Outro]
Any body who is anybody
Will soon walk through that door
At Fat Sam's grand slam speakeasy
