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

Rebecca 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 and mild
Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while

Rebecca 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

Rebecca don't allow me fool around with you
You are so tantalizing, you just can't be true
