[Intro]
[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] [Edim] [Em] [A7] [Em7] [G/B] [Edim] [Gdim] [D]
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse
[D] [Cdim] [Bm7] [Em7] [Gdim] [A7] [Em7] [Cdim] [A7] [D] [D6/9]
This verse I've started seems to me the "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody
[D] [G] [B7] [E7] [Em7] [A7] [Edim] [Gdim] [D]
So to spare you all the pain, I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
[Chorus 1]
[D] [D7/13] [D6]
The night is young, the skies are clear
[D] [D6]
And if you want to go walkin', dear
[D] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7]
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
[Chorus 1 – cont.]
[Em] [B7/13] [A7] [G/B]
I understand the reason why
[A7]
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
[G/E] [Em7] [G/E] [Em7] [Gdim] [A7] [Gdim] [D] [D6]
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
[Bridge]
[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] [Edim] [B7] [Cdim] [Em7] [G/B] [A7] [A7/13]
You can hear, dear Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself go"
[Chorus 2]
[D] [D7M] [D6]
So please be sweet, my chickadee
[D] [D6]
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
[D] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7]
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious
[E7] [A7] [A7/13] [D6]
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
[Bridge – repeat]
[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] [Edim] [B7] [Cdim] [Em7] [G/B] [A7] [A7/13]
You can hear dear Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself go"
[Chorus 2 – repeat]
[D] [D7M] [D6]
So please be sweet, my chickadee
[D] [D6]
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
[D] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7]
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious
[E7] [A7] [A7/13] [D6]
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
