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"
