It's De-lovely

The night is young, the skies are clear, if you'd like to go walkin', dear

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

I understand the reason why you're sentimental 'cause so am I

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance

You can hear dear Mother Nature murmurin' low, "Let yourself go"

So please be sweet, my chickadee and when I kiss you just say to me

"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious

It's dilemma, it's the limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"

I feel the sudden urge to sing, the kind of ditty that invokes the spring

So control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse

This verse I've started seems to me the tin-pan-tithesis of melody

So to spare you all that pain

I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain

Time marches on and soon it's plain

You've won my heart and I've lost my brain

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

Life seems so sweet that we decide it's in the bag to get unified

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

See the crowd of the church

See the proud parson propped on his perch

Hear the sweet beat of the organ sealin' my doom

Here goes the groom, boom

How they cheer and how they smile as we go gallopin' down the aisle

It's divine, dear, it's divine, dear, it's de wunderbar ,it's the victory

It's de valot, it's de vinner, it's de voiks, it's de-lovely

They settled down as man and wife

To solve the riddle called "married life"

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

They're on the crest, they have no cares

They're just a couple of honey bears

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance

You can hear dear Mother Nature murmuring low, "Let yourself go"

So

Please be sweet, my chickadee and when I kiss you just say to me

"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious

It's dilemma, it's the limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
