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
