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" 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 Time marches on, and soon it's plain You've won my heart and I've lost my brain. It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely. Life seems to 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 galloping down that aisle. It's divine, dear. It's diveen, dear. It's de- wunderbar. It's de victory. It's de valoop. It's de vinner. It's de voiks. It's de- lovely.
