Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
[Verse 2]
It's all so wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean, they just aren't swell enough
[Verse 3]
You're much too much, you're just too very, very
To ever be, in a Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words
[Verse 4]
You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous, that old standby amorous
[Verse 5]
It's all so wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean, they just aren't swell enough
[Verse 6]
You're much too much, you're just too very, very
To ever be, in the Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words
[Verse 7]
Like glorious and glamorous
Too marvelous for words
