The night is young, the sky is 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 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, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely We settle down as man and wife To solve the riddle called married life Delightful, delicious, it's de-lovely We're on the crest, we have no cares We're just a couple of honey bears Delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely All is right as can be till one night At my window I see an absurd bird With a bangle hung on his nose Get baby clothes Eyes of yours are filled with joy When nurse appears and cries: It's a boy! He's appealing, he's appalling, he's a paragon, he's a Pollywog He's poppy, he's a panic, he's a pip, he's de-lovely
