Lovely
Mt. Eddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So 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,
Murmuring low,
"Let yourself go!"
So 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 delimit, it's deluxe,
It's de-lovely".
I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.
I'll control my desire to curse
While you crucify the verse.
This verse I started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody
So spare us all the pain,
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
Mi, mi, mi, mi,
Re, re, re, re,
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si.
The night is young, the skies are clear
So 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!"
So please be sweet, my chickadee,
And when I kiss you, just say to me,
"It's delightful, it's delicious,
It's, it's de-lovely".

I feel a sudden urge to sing
I'm feeling spontaneous to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.
The type of song that signals the arrival of spring.
I'll control my desire to curse
I'll keep my rage under control.
While you crucify the verse.
As you royally mess up the lyrics.
This verse I started seems to me,
This particular verse I just made,
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody
Is the complete opposite of a harmonious sound.
So spare us all the pain,
So, please save us from agony,
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
Just don't sing that verse and sing the chorus instead.
Mi, mi, mi, mi,
Mi, mi, mi, mi,
Re, re, re, re,
Re, re, re, re,
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si.

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely.
It's stunning, it's flavourful, it's fantastic.
I understand the reason why
I get why
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I,
You are emotional, so am I,
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely.
It's lovely, it's tasty, it's incredible.
