Key: D
Introduction:
D D6 Bm7 Em7 A7 Em7 A7 D D6
I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the Spring
D6 Eº Em A7 Em7 G/B Eº Gº D
So, control your desire to curse while I cru - ci - fy the verse.
D Cº Bm7 Em7 Gº A7 Em7 Cº A7 D D6
This verse I've started seems to me the "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody,
G B7 E7
So to spare you all the pain,
Em7 A7 Eº Gº D
I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain.
D D+
The night is young, the skies are clear
D6
And if you want to go walkin', Dear,
D Cº Em7 A7
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de - love - ly.
Em B+ 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 - light - ful, it's de - li - cious, it's de - love - ly.
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 ro - mance
G/F# B7 Eº B7 Cº Em7 G/B A7
You can hear Dear Mother Nature murmuring low, "Let yourself go."
D D+
So please be sweet, my chickadee
D6
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,
Em7 A7 D6
It's dilemma, it's de-limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely."
