The night is young, the sky is clear
And if you want to go walking, dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

I understand the reason why
You're sentimental, 'cause 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 dear Mother Nature murmuring low: Let yourself go

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 de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely

We settle down as man and wife
To solve the riddle called married life
Delightful, delicious, it's de-lovely

We're on the crest, we have no cares
We're just a couple of honey bears
Delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely

All is right as can be till one night
At my window I see an absurd bird
With a bangle hung on his nose

Get baby clothes
Eyes of yours are filled with joy
When nurse appears and cries: It's a boy!
He's appealing, he's appalling, he's a paragon, he's a Pollywog
He's poppy, he's a panic, he's a pip, he's de-lovely
