Oscar Peterson It's De-lovely Lyrics

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

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"

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"
