[Verse 1]

Dinner with Delores

Must be some kind of sin

Like a Brontosaurus

She was packing it in

The first night we dined

And by the next time

This girl was eating all but the tip


[Verse 2]

And by the stroke of midnight

She wanted some more (More)

Showing dirty movies

Like some kind of whore

But she was wasting her time

'Cause there wasn't a line

That would make me come 'round her door


[Verse 3]

Dinner with Delores

Must be some kind of sin

Her bell's just a-broken (Bell's just broken)

Since 1984

(Dancing) Dancing like a white girl (White girl)

On disco dirty floors

Damn, Delores, pick another subject, please

Introduce the carpet to something other than your knees


[Verse 4]

Like a real confession

No one could be more made up than you

Nothing's left for guessing

What a shame (Boo hoo), boo hoo


[Guitar solo]


[Outro]

I'd call you a friend

But it must be a sin

And I've run out of cheeks to turn

Dinner with Delores

No more, that's the end
