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
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
See so many guys, speak so low in miles
Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while
The better don't allow me
Fool around with you
You are so tantalizing
You just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah, bathin' in the sun
An audience of seventeen, and notice not a one
Local Casanova who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, break it just for fun
The better don't allow me
Fool around with you
You are so tantalizing
You just can't be true
