It’s De-lovely
It’s De-Lovely
Eddy Duchin
— from «Red, Hot and Blue!»
— words and music by Cole Porter
The night is young
The skies are clear
And 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 de-limit
Its deluxe*, it’s de-lovely.»
