Introduction:
D D6(9) Bm7 Em7 A7 Em7 A7 D D6(9)
I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the Spring
D6(9) Eº Em A7 Em7 G/B Eº Gº D
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse
D Cº Bm7 Em7 Gº A7 Em7 Cº A7 D D6(9)
This verse I've started seems to me the "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody
D G B7 E7 Em7 A7 Eº Gº D
So to spare you all the pain, I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
D D7 D6 D D6
The night is young, the skies are clear and if you want to go walkin', Dear
D Cº Em7 A7
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
Em B7 A7 G/B A7
I understand the reason why you're sentimental, 'cause so am I
G/E Em7 G/E Em7 Gº A7 Gº D D6
It's de lightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

D G/B D7 Am7 D7 Am7 G D7(9) G/B Am7 G
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
G/F# B7 Eº B7 Cº Em7 G/B A7
You can hear Dear Mother Nature murmuring low, let yourself go
D D7M D6 D D6
So please be sweet, my chickadee and when I kiss ya, just say to me
D Cº Em7 A7
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.
