Anita O'Day - It's De-Lovely Lyrics

(from "Red, Hot and Blue" - 1936 Broadway Musical)

The night is young, the skies are clear
So if you want to 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 delimit, it's deluxe,
It's de-lovely".

I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.

I'll control my desire to curse
While you crucify the verse.

This verse I started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody

So spare us all the pain,
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain

Mi, mi, mi, mi,
Re, re, re, re,
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si.

The night is young, the skies are clear
So if you want to 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, it's de-lovely".

Song lyrics written by Cole Porter

Anything Goes
My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)
Night and Day
It's De-Lovely
Too Darn Hot
All of You
Well Did You Evah?
Easy to Love
You're the Top
I Concentrate on You
It's All Right with Me
I've Got You Under My Skin
Wunderbar
I've Still Got My Health
Make It Another Old-Fashioned Please
High Society Calypso
Always True to You in My Fashion
Let's Be Buddies
Ça C'est L'amour
Why Can't You Behave?
Love for Sale
You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to
Just One of Those Things
So in Love
I Get a Kick Out of You
All Through the Night
Miss Otis Regrets
Begin the Beguine
Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love
True Love
Tom, Dick or Harry
Paris Loves Lovers
Get Out of Town
The Physician
Every Time We Say Goodbye
I Love You
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
I Love You Samantha
At Long Last Love
Down in the Depths on the Nineteenth Floor
Experiment
Satin and Silk
Everything I Love
Don't Fence Me in
Let's Misbehave
In the Still of the Night
