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"
