It's De-lovely

Cole Porter Cole Porter

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

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"
