My transcription from Spotify:


RUN SAMSON RUN
Written by Howard Greenfield & Neil Sedaka, ©1961.
As recorded by Neil Sedaka, 1961.

1. 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—

CHORUS: 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.

2. 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—CHORUS

3. 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. So—CHORUS
