it's de-lovely
The night is young, the skies are clear  So if you want to go walking, 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 delimit, it's deluxe,  It's de-lovely".   I feel a sudden urge to sing  The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.   I'll control my desire to curse  While you crucify the verse.   This verse I started seems to me  The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody  So spare us all 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.
