Intro: D6/9  Bm7 Em7 A7      

Recitative 
D      D6/9     Bm7    Em7        
I feel a sudden urge to sing  
A7     Em7    A7     D     D6/9 
The kind of ditty that invokes the Spring  
     D6/9         Edim     Em  A7      
So, control your desire to curse   
Em7 G/B    Edim Gdim  D 
while I  crucify     the  verse  
   D        Cdim    Bm7   Em7 Gdim       
This verse I've started seems to   me  
A7 Em7 Cdim  A7     D    D6/9    
The 'Tin Pan-tithesis' of melody  
    D         G  B7   E7            
So to spare you all the pain,  
Em7         A7      Edim Gdim        D Bm7 Em7 A7 
I'll skip the darn thing and sing  the refrain  

Melody  
D              D7/13-                     D6           D       D6  
The night is young, the skies are clear and if you want to go walkin', Dear

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely  
  Em    B7/13-      A7         G/B           A7  
I understand the reason why you're sentimental, 'cause so am I

      Em7         A7         A7/13-         D6  
It's dilemma, it's de-limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely 
D   G/B D7  Am7    D7    Am7    G     D7/9      G/B    Am7 G
