It’s De-Lovely - Oscar Peterson

The night is young the skies are clear
So 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 delimit it's deluxe
It's de-lovely".
I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.
I'll control my desire to curse
While you crucify the verse.
This verse I started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody
So spare us all the pain
Just skip the darn 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
So 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 it's de-lovely".
