Lyrics

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]  
  
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]
