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 Take it away 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 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 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 A 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, why, 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
