Delilah! Delilah!

Bring no shaves to the condo

It is so unsafe for the secrets down my hairs

Delilah! Delilah! Delilah…

Look outside the window

Many philistines wait

Bring me no afterglow

Bed and battle keep our love lockdown

My mistress against my prowess

O, I’m at war…. O Delilah!

Many philistine await

Look outside the window

Don’t make me feel down and out

Don’t make me go down in the mouth

Don’t be another Adams’ eve and apple

Delilah! Delilah! Delilah

Let go my Amazon; Let go my hairs

Just look outside the window

Many philistine await

Await the death

The death of Delilah’s Sam.
