A cigarette itself out in a crushed up co'cola can ashtray In front of a up old mirror Delilah Blue is out his tired sachet Getting bored or just with his own reflection He just waves it all
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 a test anyhow" Then to his own reflection he says "Oh, Blue, what do we do now?"
The night of the Stardest Motel is banging louder On number door, saying "If you two Queens don't pay up for all week You can't here no more"
And Delilah as black eyed Susan says "Silly is such a bore" In a while know she'll walk away
It's just a drunken game she to play Besides, she knows always pay They pay somehow Oh, Blue, what do we do now?
Oh, Blue, what do we do now? What do we do Magnolia fill my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But let anybody ever say This old dancer had her day 'Cause this old dancer knew We'd make it through, Blue
in the bath tub now And it's Black-Eyed Susan's to ramble The of the United States is on TV everybody the country's doin' fine
Well, he be talkin' 'bout some other country 'Cause honey, he sure as hell ain't 'bout mine Wish I could strut up to the White House In Shirley drag and sing 'Brother can you a dime?'
Hey, Miss D, I could always pawn that Jayne Mansfield How much cash you think that old bring? My red dress, I used to wear to sing when they'd whistle and they'd wow Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now? do we do now? Magnolia fill my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But don't let ever say old dancer never had her day 'Cause this old always knew We'd make it through, Blue
Does the year 2000 scare you 'Cause it's comin' up so getting older thing seems to be More about just learnin' how to
Flippin' through my old phone Delilah, all our mad, mad we were such a cast What do I keep this old dog-eared for?
Most our friends ain't even here no I'm feeling lonely as a ghost town still standin' up somehow Oh, Blue, what do we do now?
With a turban on his head Delilah Blue appears in the golden aura of light Tell you a little secret, Susan, I learned a long, long ago It's kept me on my feet all years, high heels too I got the strap to show
You can take it or you can it Oh baby, I don't really know But it to me between the blues we cannot name And all the we try to tame
We're only in our own game Try not to let it your pretty brow And just before he the light He catches his own in the mirror
And at the sight Try not to let it wrinkle your pretty brow Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do do we do now? Magnolia memories my eyes And the sweet bird of youth flown away
But don't let anybody say This old dancer had her day this old dancer always knew We'd make it through, Blue
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do What do we do Magnolia memories my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But don't let ever say This old never had her day this old dancer always knew We'd make it through, Blue
this old dancer thought She knew, make it through Oh, this old dancer She knew, Blue, what do we do now?
