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
