It's De-Lovely

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 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 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 galloping 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
