Delta Eighty Eight
by Ninety Eight Regency
Delta Eighty Eight, what's that platform you drive on
Could it be a faded car from days gone by
And did I hear GM say they were a-meetin' you here today
To take you to the big car museum in the sky
Been here since forty-nine and people still calls 'er Delta
All the folks 'round Lansing say she's powerful
'Cause she drives downtown with those suitcases in her trunk
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired GM man
In her younger days they called her Dynamic Eighty Eight
Prettiest family sedan ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by Oldsmobiles side
Promised them he'd take her for life
Delta Eighty Eight, what's that V8 power you have on
Could you be a faded family sedan from days gone by
And did I hear GM say they was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to the big museum in the sky

Delta Eighty Eight, what's that V8 power you have on
Could you be a faded family sedan from days gone by
And did I hear GM say they was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to the big museum in the skye

Delta Dawn
Helen Reddy
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
