It's De-Lovely

The night is young, the skies are clear

And if you want 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 murmuring low "Let

yourself go"

So please be sweet, my chickadee

And when I kiss ya, just say to me

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

it's delirious,

It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's

de-lovely"

I feel a 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 the 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 to 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 in that church, see the proud parson

plopped on his perch.

Get the sweet beat of that organ sealing our doom.

'Here goes the groom, boom!'

How they cheer and how they smile as we go galloping

down that aisle.

It's divine, dear. It's diveen, dear. It's de-

wunderbar. It's de victory.

It's de valoop. It's de vinner. It's de voiks. It's de-

lovely.
