Delishious 1931 'Delishious'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Apr 2005

What can I say
to sing my praise of you?
I must reveal
the things I feel
what can I say?
Each lovely phase of you
just seems to baffle my descriptive powers
four and twenty hours of ev'ry day.
What can I say?
What is the thing I'd love to sing?
I've said you're marvelous;
I've said you're wonderful;
and yet that's not it,
now let me see,
I think I've got it!

You're so delishious
and so caprishious;
I grow ambishious
to have you care for me.
In that connecshion
You're my selecshion,
for true affecshion
for all the time to be.
Oh, I've had one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten girls before;
but now there's one, and you're the one,
the one girl I adore.
'Cause you're delishious,
and so caprishious,
If I'm repetishious,
it's 'cause you're so delishious!

You're so delishious
and so caprishious;
I grow ambishious
to have you care for me.
In that connecshion
You're my selecshion,
for true affecshion
for all the time to be.
Oh, I've had one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten girls before;
but now there's one, and you're the one,
the one girl I adore.
'Cause you're delishious,
and so caprishious,
If I'm repetishious,
it's 'cause you're so delishious!
