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."
