A cigarette burns itself out in a crushed up co'cola can In front of a up old mirror Delilah Blue is checking out his sachet Getting bored or just disappointed with his own He just it all away
Taking to his good friend black Susan, he says "Maybe we should go out Get a tan and fake the rest, this ol' life is just a Just a anyhow" Then back to his own he says "Oh, Blue, what do we do now?"
The night manager of the Stardest is banging louder On number seven's door, "If you two Queens don't pay up for all week You stay here no more"
And Delilah laughs as black eyed Susan "Silly bitch is a bore" In a while they know she'll away
It's just a drunken game she to play Besides, she knows they pay always pay somehow Oh, Blue, what do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do do we do now? Magnolia memories fill my And the sweet bird of youth done away
But don't let ever say old dancer never had her day 'Cause this old dancer knew We'd make it through, Delilah
Delilah's in the tub now And it's Black-Eyed Susan's turn to The President of the States is on TV Tellin' everybody the doin' fine
Well, he must be talkin' 'bout some other 'Cause honey, he sure as ain't talkin' 'bout mine I could strut up to the White House steps In Shirley Temple drag and can you spare a dime?'
Hey, Miss D, I could always pawn that Jayne thing How much cash you that old rag'd bring? My ruby red dress, I used to to sing Back when they'd and they'd wow Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now? What do we do memories fill my eyes And the sweet bird of youth done flown
But don't let ever say old dancer never had her day 'Cause this old always knew We'd it through, Delilah Blue
Does the year 2000 ever you 'Cause comin' up so fast? This getting older thing to be More just learnin' how to last
Flippin' through my old phone Delilah, all our mad, mad we were such a cast What do I this old dog-eared thing for?
Most our friends ain't here no more I'm feeling lonely as a town whore Left still standin' up Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do
With a towel turban on his Delilah Blue in the golden aura of bathroom light Tell you a secret, Susan, I learned a long, long time ago It's kept me on my feet all these years, heels too I got the strap marks to
You can it or you can leave it Oh baby, guess I really know But it seems to me between the we cannot name And all the rage we try to
We're only in our own game Try not to let it wrinkle pretty brow And just before he cuts the He his own reflection in the mirror
And smiles at the Try not to let it wrinkle pretty little brow Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do do we do now? Magnolia fill my eyes And the bird of youth done flown away
But don't let anybody say This old dancer had her day this old dancer always knew We'd make it through, Delilah
Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now? do we do now? Magnolia memories fill my And the sweet bird of youth flown away
But don't let ever say This old dancer had her day this old dancer always knew We'd make it through, Delilah
'Cause old dancer thought She knew, we'd it through Oh, this old dancer She knew, Blue, what do we do now?
