"Run Samson Run"
演唱者:Neil Sedaka
----
In the bible, 1000 years BC
There's a story of ancient history
'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
'Til 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 (was a demon)
A devil in disguise
He was taken (he was taken)
By the angel in her eyes
That lady barber (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 (oh, Delilah)
Made Sammy's life a sin
And he perished (and he perished)
When the roof fell in
There's a moral (there's a moral)
So listen to me pal
There's a little of Delilah
In each and every gal
Soooo, 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

歌詞典故:
Samson,就是舊約聖經故事的「參孫」,一位力大無窮的以色列士師。
這首歌詞裡的Delilah,則是參孫離開妻子後愛上的女人「大利拉」。
參孫因為放縱情慾,把自己力量的秘密告訴大利拉,
殊不知大利拉早已暗中與非利士人串通好,
親近參孫的目的就是要套出參孫的秘密,
導致頭髮在睡覺時被大利拉派人剪掉(頭髮為其力量來源),力量全失,
最後被非利士人抓住,挖去雙眼囚禁起來。
(以上有誤請指正@@)
