Sampson And Delilah

Neil Sedaka


In the bible one thousand years BC
There's a story of ancient history
Bout a fell who was strong as he could be
Till he met a cheating gal who brought him tradgedy

Chorus
So run Sampson run, Delilah's on her way
Run Sampson run, you ain't got time to stay
Run Sampson run, on your marks you'd better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart

She was a demon, a devil in disguise
He was taken, by the angel in her eyes
That lady barber, was very well equipped
You can bet your bottom dollar he was gonna get clipped

Chorus

Oh Delilah made Sammie's life a sin
And he perished, when the roof fell in
There's a moral, so listen to me pal
There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal

Chorus
