It's De Lovely

It's De Lovely - Ethel Merman

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 pantithesis of melody

What I'll spare you 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

Take it away

Oh the night is long the skies are clear

And if you want to go walkin' dear

It's delightful it's delicious it's delovely

I understand the reason why

You're sentimental 'cause so am I

It's delightful it's delicious it's delovely

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 delovely

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 delovely

Life seems so sweet that we decide

It's in the bag to get unified

It's delightful it's delicious it's delovely

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 devene dear it's dewunderbar it's devictory

It's develop it's devinner it's devoix it's delovely
