It's De-Lovely [From Anything Goes]

                                  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".
