You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all so wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
You're just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

Just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all so wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
You're just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words.

Too Marvellous For Words 1937
Music by Richard Whiting
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
© 1937
*
Could the dictionary be at a loss for words? The song's
thoroughly smitten lover thinks so after searching in vain to find
the magical adjectives to describe his beloved. The number
came from an otherwise forgettable 1937 film called
"Ready Willing and Able" starring Al Jolson's first wife,
Ruby Keeler.
