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

I can tell at a glance
What a swell night this is for romance
I can hear old mother nature murmuring low

"Let yourself go," 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," second chorus

Time marches on, and soon it's plain
You've won my heart and I've lost my brain
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it is de-lovely
Life seems so sweet that we decide
It's in the bag to get unified
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

See the crowd at that church
See the proud parson plopped in his perch
Get the sweet beat of that organ pealing our doom
Here goes the groom, boom, how they cheeer
How they smile, as we go galloping down the aisle
It's divine, dear, it's da-veen, dear, it's da-wunderbar
It's da-victory, it's da-wallop, it's da-vinner, it's da-voice, it's de-lovely

It's de-lovely

The loudest time and so we take a few hours out to eat wedding cake
It's delightful, it is delicious, it is de-lovely
It feels fine to be a bride, and how's the groom, we'll he's slightly fried
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

It's de-lousy, it's de-reely, it's da-rhapsody, it's de-referee,
It's de-Royal, it's de-Regal, it's de-Ritz, it's true, it's de-lovely

It's del-lovely, thank you
