Out Of The Strong Lyrics

Out Of The Strong lyrics

(Des Quango and the Cabasas)
As was the custom in Philistine
Samson
provided the food and the wine
Thirty companions, a must for the time,
To guest the wedding banquet
"Now I have a riddle," Samson began
"Tell me the answer if you can
Make your replies within the week
To
qualify for prizes"
"But if you cannot answer me
The prizes I am
naming
Thirty sets of linen garments
Shall be mine from you
Not
yours from me"
"Out of the eater something to eat
Out of the strong
something sweet"
For three days the people laboured in vain
They
could not find the answer
But those deceitful Philistines
Making
threats of violence
Pressurised his wife and her family
'til she
coaxed the answer out of him
(What is stronger than a lion ?)
(What
is sweeter than hon
ey ?)
Out of the eater something to eat
(What is stronger than a lion ?)
Out of the strong something sweet
(What is sweeter than honey ?)
Out of the eater
(What is
stronger
[If you'd not ploughed
 something to eat
  than a lion
?)
  with my heifer]
Out of the strong
(What is sweeter
[You would not have
 something sweet
  than honey ?)
  found
the answer]
Out of the eater
(What is stronger
[If you'd not
ploughed
 something to eat
  than a lion ?)
  with my heifer]
Out of the strong
(What is sweeter
[You wou
ld not have

something sweet
  than honey ?)
  found the answer]
