The Kinks — Beautiful Delilah

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true [Verse 2] Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest styles 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 [Chorus] Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true [Break] [Verse 3] Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the sun Audience of 17, and noticed not a one Local Casanova who wouldn't be outdone Let her steal his heart away, she break it just for fun [Chorus] Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
