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 I've started seems to me 

The temp antithesis of melody 

So to spare you all the pain

I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain 



The night is young, the skies are clear 

And if you want to 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"
