Del Monte and the Maraschinos)


Samson, ooh how strong you are
You make me go all limp
What fun if I could tie you up
Reduce you to a wimp
Mmm. Bind you up with seven thongs
Which have not been properly dried ?
I'm sure that wouldn't really work
But then, who'd know 'til they'd tried ?

Delilah tied up Samson
Just to see if this was true
She shouted, "Quick ! The Philistines
Have come to capture you"
But Samson he broke his bonds
As if they were not even there
You see the only way
That he would lose his strength
Is if someone should cut his hair

Now Samson, you a naughty boy
You tricked me all along
But you know I go all weak at the knees
Because you are so strong
It would really give me such a thrill
To see you tied and all subdued
Ooh. Tie you up with brand new ropes
That haven't yet been used (Well, I never thought of that before)

Delilah tied up Samson
Just to see if this was true
She shouted, "Quick ! The Philistines
Have come to capture you"
But Samson he broke his bonds
As if they were not even there
You see the only way
That he would lose his strength
Is if someone should cut his hair

Oh Samson, please don't mess about
What fibs you tell, you monkey
I go all like jelly being here
With someone who's so hunky
I'd be...I'd be so enthralled to know
How all that strength would ebb
Now, let me get this straight
Take a weaving loom, and weave your hair into a web ? (Now that's what I said)
