Lyrics Johnny Mathis – 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 I’ve started seems to me the «Tin Pan-tithesis» of melody
So to spare you all the pain,

You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear Mother Nature murmuring low «Let yourself go»

So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, 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»
It’s delightful, it’s de-lovely
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
