Deliahs Place
Delilah’s read the marquee
But Delilah was really old Gus.
A man you don’t mess with or anger
A regular old ornery cuss.
But Delilah’s was on the marquee
For Delilah brought thoughts of delight.
And delightful thoughts just had to be
What brought me in that night
For I’m just new to the area
And I’m trying to simply fit in.
I came in with my custom built pool cue
But I’m hanging around for the sin.
It’s just for local enjoyment
And everyone knows where it’s at.
With pool tables right down the middle
And pretty girls just out the back.
Music – if played, it is country.
And beers are a dollar plus tax.
You can get girls to play 8-ball
Or you can just stare at their racks.
But I’m just new to the area
And I’m trying to simply fit in.
I came in with my custom built pool cue
But I’m hanging around for the sin.
There’s Terrie, the one in the cutoffs.
Standing up there at the bar.
She comes in a custom Comaro
But leaves in a customer’s car.
And Sheila’s the one at the jukebox.
She’ll dance for you all evening long.
Just give her a smile and a few beers
And she can be yours for a song.
Me – I’m just new to the area
And I’m trying to simply fit in.
I came in with my custom built pool cue
But I’m hanging around for the sin.
