The Kinks - Beautiful Delilah Lyrics

Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look, fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why

Betsy don't allow me foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true

Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest style
Swinging like a pendulum, walking down the aisle
Sees so many guys, speaks so low and mild
One day she will marry, settle down, after a while

Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true

Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the sun
Audience of seventeen, and noticed not a one
Local Casanova wouldn't be outdone
Let him tear his heart away, she break it just for fun

Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
