Hey there Delilah, this is your ex-boyfriend Sampson,
And I know you thought that lifting weights, made me so buff and handsome,
(Pi )
You were wrong, it's 'cuz I let my hair grow long, it makes me strong,
Hey there Delilah, you came in while I was sleeping,
And I didn't feel you cutting and I didn't hear you creeping
(Pi )
out the door, You left my hair piled on the floor, while I just snored
Oh, it's what you did to me, Oh, while I was asleep,
Oh, I'm a Nazarene, Oh, but you shaved me clean,
Delilah you're so mean
I Killed a lion, big and mean, and slaughtered many Philistines,
All with a donkey's jaw bone, that's no lie,
But now I'm chained up to a wall, and I can't cry no tears at all,
Because the came and gouged out both my eyes...
Why'd you grab those clippin' shears, and shave my head like Britney Spears,
'Cuz now I'm standing hear in total shame,
Delilah, you're to blame
Hey there Delilah, why did you have to deceive me?
It's so hard for me to think, not long ago I wanted you to be my bride,
(Pi )
But you took too much off the sides,
(Pi )
Hey there Delilah when you die,
(Pi )
Just tell the devil, I said "hi",
He'll know why
Oh, it's what you did to me, Oh, Now I'm up a creek,
Oh, now I feel so weak, Oh, I look like a freak,
Delilah, you're a geek...
