Run Samson Run

RUN SAMSON RUN
(Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield)

In the Bible, one thousand years B.C.
There's a story of ancient history
'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
Till he met a cheatin' gal who brought him tragedy

Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
Run Samson run, on your mark you 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

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

Oh Delilah made Sammy'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

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