Artist  : Leo Reisman 
Song : Its De Lovely
 


It's De-lovely
Johnny Mathis
Written by
Cole Porter

This version did not chart
but
In 1936 Leo Reisman put it at # 7
and
In 1937, 3 versions charted: Eddy Duchin
(#1), Shep Fields (#9), and Will Osborne
(#14)
Sung in the 1936 musical "Red, Hot, and
Blue" by Ethel Merman and Bob Hope
The 1936
movie "Anything Goes" did NOT include this song
but it was sung in the 1956 re-make
by Mitzi
Gaynor and Donald O'Connor. Bing Crosby starred
in both films but did not sing
this
one!!


INTRO:
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 Pan-tithesis" of
melody
So to spare you all the pain, I'll skip
the darn thing and sing the refrain


The
night is young and the skies are clear
And if
you want to go walkin', dear
It's delightful,
it's delicious, it's de-lovely

I
understand the reason why
You're sentimental,
well 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 Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself
go"

So please be sweet, my
chickadee
And when I kiss ya, say to
me
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's
delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's
de limit, it's deluxe, it's
de-lovely"


It's delightful, it's
de-lovely


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 ya, just say to
me
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's
delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's
de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
