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)

You see the only way

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)
