It's De-Lovely

It's De-Lovely - Frances Day

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

Do do do do; re re re re

Take it away

The night is young the skies are clear

And if you want to go walkin' dear

It's delightful it's delicious it's D'lovely

I understand the reason why

You're sentimental 'cause so am I

It's delightful it's delicious it's D'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 de limit it's deluxe it's D'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 D'lovely

Life seems so sweet that we decide

It's in the bag to get unified

It's delightful it's delicious it's D'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 d'vene dear it's d'wunderbar it's d'victory

It's de-velop it's d'vinner it's d'voix it's D'lovely
