Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an immensely influential American guitarist, singer, and composer, and one of the pioneers of rock & roll music. Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri and was part of the first group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986. Though playing what was considered Rhythm & Blues (R & B), in retrospect Berry is now seen by many as more of a rockabilly (rather than R & B) singer. However, he was the real poet of 1950s rock 'n' roll.

Beautiful Delilah Lyrics
Chuck Berry
Beautiful delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passin by
Every time you see her shes with a different guy
Beautiful delilah, thats the reason why
Chorus:
The better dont allow me fool around with you
You are so tantalizing you just cant be true
Beautiful delilah, dressed in the latest style
Swingin like a pendulum, walkin down the aisle
Deep romantic eyes, speak so low in miles
Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Beautiful delilah, bathin in the sun
An audience of 17, and notice not a one
Local casanova who wouldnt be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, break it just for fun
(chorus)
