Two, three, and

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
