Beautiful delilah, sweet as apple pie

Always gets a second look from fellas passin' by

Every time you see her she's with a different guy

Beautiful delilah, that's the reason why



Chorus:

The better don't allow me fool around with you

You are so tantalizing you just can't be true



Beautiful delilah, dressed in the latest style

Swingin' like a pendulum, walkin' down the aisle

Deep romantic eyes, speak so low in miles

Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while



(chorus)



(instrumental)



Beautiful delilah, bathin' in the sun

An audience of 17, and notice not a one

Local casanova who wouldn't be outdone

Let her steal his heart away, break it just for fun



(chorus)
