[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
