Itīs de-lovely
(Cole Porter - enhanced version by R. Williams)
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 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"
Time marches on and soon itīs plain
Youīve won my heart and I lost my brain
Itīs delightful, itīs delicious, itīs de-lovely
Life seems so sweet that we decide
Itīs in the bag to get unified
Itīs delightful, itīs delicious, itīs 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
Itīs divine, dear, itīs de-vene, dear, itīs de-wunderbar, itīs de-victory
Itīs de-velop, itīs de-vinner, itīs de-voix, itīs de-lovely
The night is tired and so we take
The few hours off to eat wedding cake
Itīs delightful, itīs delicious, itīs de-lovely
It feels so fine to be a bride
And howīs the groom while heīs slightly fried
Itīs divineful, itīs delicious, itīs de-lovely
To the pop of champagne off we hop in our plush little plane
īTil a bright light through the darkness cosily calls Niagara Falls
Well, my love, our dayīs complete
What a beautiful bridal suite
Itīs de-reamy, itīs de-rousy, itīs de-reverie, itīs de-rhapsodie
Itīs de-regal, itīs de-royal, itīs de-ritz, itīs de-lovely
We settle down as man and wife
To solve the riddle called married life
Itīs delightful, itīs delicious, itīs de-lovely
