Del Monte and the Maraschinos)





Well, at the vines of Timnah

When Samson was alone

A lion came towards him

And roared a fearsome moan

But by the Spirit of the Lord

He became a superman

And tore the helpless lion

As though it were a ram



Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

You ain't seen nothing yet 'til you clapped eyes

On Supersam



He didn't tell his mama

His papa didn't see

He just carried on walking

To meet his wife to be

And when he met the little lady

He found he liked her charms

Decided that he couldn't wait

To hold her in his arms

Some time later

Near the wedding day

That lion's carcass

Was beginning to decay

Samson saw it

And he thought it was alive

Until he saw a swarm of bees

Had used it as a hive (Dig that. Brother guitarist.)



Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

You ain't seen nothing yet 'til you've clapped eyes

On Supersam



Now Samson wasn't squeamish

He didn't mess about

He just put his little hand in

And pulled some honey out

Oh yes, he put that little hand in

He took that honey out now

He took some to his ma and pa

But didn't blab about



Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

Supersam (Is it a bird or is it a plane ?)

You ain't seen nothing yet 'til you clapped eyes
