| It’s hidden far away |
| But someday I may tell |
| The tale of metal tangle |
| When into your world I fell |
| Without you now I wander soaking secretly afraid |
| But in your grasp the fears don’t last |
| Though some of them have stayed |
| I wheeled around because I |
| Didn’t hear what you had said |
| And saw you dancing with Elihu |
| Up on Leemor’s bed |
| And I was foggy rather groggy |
| You helped me to my car |
| The binding belt enclosing me |
| A Sample in a Jar |
| And on the market stands unfolding |
| With all their willies and their wares |
| I shuffle by alert but numb |
| To all the glances and the glares |
| And I think of you unheeding |
| All the times I raise my cup |
| It’s now I know that you knew |
| That I’d soon end up, end up |
| I wheeled around because I |
| Didn’t hear what you had said |
| And saw you dancing with Elihu |
| Up on Leemor’s bed |
| And I was foggy rather groggy |
| You helped me to my car |
| The binding belt enclosing me |
| A Sample in a Jar |
| You tricked me like the others |
| And now I don’t belong |
| The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong |
| I wheeled around because I |
| Didn’t hear what you had said |
| And saw you dancing with Elihu |
| Up on Leemor’s bed |
| And I was foggy rather groggy |
| You helped me to my car |
| The binding belt enclosing me |
| A Sample in a Jar |
| Oh, a Sample in a Jar |
| Oh a Sample in a Jar |
| Wo-oh, now, a Sample in a Jar |
