it´s de-YOU

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 you'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

Mi-mi-mi-mi, re-re-re-re, do-so-mi-do-la-si

The night is young, the skies are clear

So if you wanna 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"

Time marches on and soon it's plain

You've won my heart and I lost my brain

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

Life seems so sweet that we decide

It's in the bag to get unified

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

See the crowd in that church

See the proud parson plopped on his perch

Get the sweet beat of that organ sealing our doom

Here goes the groom – boom!

How they cheer and how they smile

As we go galopping down the aisle

It's divine, dear, it's de-vene, dear, it's de-wunderbar, it's de-victory

It's de-velop, it's de-vinner, it's de-voix, it's de-lovely

The night is tired and so we take

The few hours off to eat wedding cake

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

It feels so fine to be a bride

And how's the groom while he's slightly fried

It's divineful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

To the pop of champagne off we hop in our plush little plane

Till a bright light through the darkness cosily calls Niagara Falls

Well, my love, our day's complete

What a beautiful bridal suite

It's de-reamy, it's de-rousy, it's de-reverie, it's de-rhapsodie

It's de-regal, it's de-royal, it's de-ritz, it's de-lovely

We settle down as man and wife

To solve the riddle called married life

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
