[Verse 1]
The night is long, the skies are clear
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
When I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's delectable, it's delirious
It's dilеmma, it's delimit, it's deluxe
It's dе-lovely"

[Verse 2]
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's 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 that crowd in the church
See that proud parson plopped on his perch
Get the sweet beat of that organ peeling our doom
Here goes the groom
How they cheer, how they smile
As we go galloping down the aisle
It's divine dear, it's de-vine dear
It's de-wunderbar, it's de-victory
It's [?] , it's [?] , it's [?]
It's de-lovely
[Verse 3]
The knot is tied and so we take
A few hours off to eat wedding cake
It's delightful, it's delicious
It's de-lovely
It feels fine to be a bride
How's the groom? Why, he's lightly fried
It's delightful, it's delicious
It's de-lovely
To the pop of Champagne
Off we hop, in our plush little plane
'Till a bright light through the darkness
Cozily calls
Niagara Falls
All's well my love, our day's complete
What a beautiful bridal suite
It's dreamy, it's drowsy
It's de-revolry, it's de-rhapsody
It's de-regal, it's de-royal, it's de-ritz
It's de-lovely

[Verse 4]
We settle down as man and wife
To solve the riddle called "married life"
It's delightful, it's delicious
It's de-lovely
We are on the crest, we have no cares
We're just a couple of honey bears
It's delightful, it's delicious
It's de-lovely
All's as right as can be
'Till one night at my window I see
An absurd bird with a bundle hung on his nose
Get baby clothes
Those eyes of yours are filled with joy
When nurse appears and cries
"It's a boy!"
He's a [?] , he's appealing
He's a pollywog, he's a paragon
He's a pop eye, he's a panic, he's a pip
He's de-lovely
