It's Delovely

I feel a sudden urge to sing

Tthe 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"
