It's De-Lovely 1936 Cole Porter

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 25 Jul 2003

[He:] 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 I've started seems to me
the Tin Pantithesis of melody,
so to spare you all the pain.
I'll skip the darn thing
and sing the refrain.
mi mi mi mi
re re re re,
Do sol mi do la si.
[She: spoken:] Take it away!

[He:] The night is young,
the skies are clear
and if you want to go walking, dear,
it's delightful, it's delicious,
it's delovely.
I understand the reason why
you're sentimental,
'cause so am I,
It's delightful, it's delicious,
it's delovely.
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 delovely."
