It's Delovely

The night is young, the skies are clear

So if you want to go walking, 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 you, just say to me

"It's delightful, it's delicious

It's delectable, it's delirious

It's dilemma, it's delimit, it's deluxe

It's de-lovely"

I feel a sudden urge to sing

The kind of ditty that invokes the spring

I'll control my desire to curse

While you crucify the verse

This verse I started seems to me

The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody

So spare us all the pain

Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain

Mi, mi, mi, mi,

Re, re, re, re,

Do, sol, mi, do, la, si

The night is young, the skies are clear

So if you want to go walking, 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 you, just say to me

"It's delightful, it's delicious

It's, it's de-lovely"
