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

We'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain

Come on!

♪

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"

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"
