Beautiful delilah, sweet as apple pie

Always gets a second look from fellas passing by

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

Beautiful delilah, that's the reason why.

My mama don't allow me

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night.

Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true.

Now, beautiful delilah dressed in the latest styles

Swinging like a pendulum walking down the aisle

Deep romantic eyes

Speaks so low and smiles

Maybe she will settle down, marry after 'while.

My mama don't allow me

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night.

Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true.

Beautiful delilah, bathing 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 and break it just for fun.

My mama don't allow me

Staying around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night.

Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true.
