The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you wanna 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 delimit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"

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 you've started seems to me
The tinpantithesis of melody
So spare me, please, the pain
Just skip the damn thing and sing the refrain

Mi, mi, mi, mi
Re, re, re, re
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si

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 divine, dear (it's de-vene, dear)
It's de-wunderbar (it's de-victory)
It's de-velop, it's de-vinner, it's de-voix
It's de-lovely

So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's
It's de-lovely
