Too Marvelous for Words
The Rat Pack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough

I mean just aren't swell enough

You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds

To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

Overall Meaning

The Rat Pack's song Too Marvelous for Words is essentially about someone who is absolutely amazing and incredible, to the point where even words can't accurately describe them. The lyrics emphasize the idea that the person is too great to be defined by any conventional or conventional description of them. The use of words such as "glorious" and "glamorous" convey that sense of unattainable magnificence, while "amorous" hints at a deeper, emotional element to their being. The lyrics go on to express that the singer is at a loss for words to describe how wonderful this person is, and that they are even "borrowing a love song from the birds" to try and convey how marvelous they are.

Overall, the song captures the feeling of being absolutely awestruck by someone, to the point where language is insufficient to capture the depth of those feelings. The Rat Pack sings the tune with such smoothness and style that they almost become part of the song's message, embodying the qualities of the person they are describing - cool, collected, and effortlessly suave.

Line by Line Meaning

You're just too marvelous
You're exceptional and beyond compare

Too marvelous for words
Your greatness is indescribable

Like glorious, glamorous
You possess immense beauty and elegance

And that old standby amorous
You exude love and passion effortlessly

It's all too wonderful
Being in your presence is blissful

I'll never find the phrase
No words can fully express how amazing you are

That says enough, tells enough
Even the best phrases fall short of describing your worth

I mean just aren't swell enough
Even the best descriptions of you aren't good enough

You're much too much, and just too very very
You are excessively exceptional beyond comprehension

To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
Words in the dictionary are inadequate to describe you

And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
I'm using the birds' love song as a metaphor for how marvelous you are

To tell you that you're marvelous
I want to let you know how amazing you are

Too marvelous for words
You are beyond words
