If I had my way, If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down, tear this building down
Sampson and the lion they got in attack Sampson jumped on that lion's back You read about him - he killed a man with his paw Sampson got his hands around the lion's jaw broke that beast till the lion was dead Bees made honey in the lion's head.
