[Verse 1]
C7Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
C7Always gets a second look from fellas passin' by
C7Every time you see her she's with a different guy
C7Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why
[Chorus]
Rebecca don't 'lF7low me fool around with C7you
You are G7so tantalizing you just can't be C7true
[Verse 2]
C7Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest style
C7Swingin' like a pendulum, walkin' down the aisle
C7Deep romantic eyes, speak so low and mild
C7Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while
[Chorus]
Rebecca don't 'lF7low me fool around with C7you
You are G7so tantalizing you just can't be C7true
[Instrumental]

C7Beautiful Delilah, bathin' in the sun
C7An audience of seventeen, and notice not a one
C7Local Casanova who wouldn't be outdone
C7Let her steal his heart away and break it just for fun
[Chorus]
Rebecca don't 'lF7low me fool around with C7you
You are G7so tantalizing you just can't be C7true
