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
