Cole Porter
It’s Delovely
[BILLY]
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"

[HOPE]
I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring

[BILLY]
I'll control my desire to curse
While you crucify the verse
[HOPE]
This verse I started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody

[BILLY]
So spare us all the pain
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain

[HOPE]
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!"

[BILLY]
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"
