It is a sham, but it's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker admits something is a fraud, then delights in a silly twist: it is a sham, but one involving yams. The rhymed wordplay makes the admission comic, treating the deceit as both flawed and oddly charming through the repeated sound of yam sham.
