Delishious
Oh, Eileen
What can I say
To sing my praise of you?
I must reveal the things I feel
What can I say?
Each lovely phase of you
Just seems to baffle my descriptive powers
Four and twenty hours
Of every day
What can I say?
What is the thing I'd love to sing?
They've said you're marvelous
They've said you're wonderful
And yet that's not it
Now let me see
I think I've got it
I'm so delishious
And so capricious
I grow ambitious
To have you care for me
In that connection
You're my selection
For true affection
For all the time to be
Oh, he's had one, two, three, four, five, six
Seven, eight, nine, ten girls before
But now there's one
And I'm the one
The one he does adore
'Cause I'm delishious
And so capricious
If I'm repetitious
It's 'cause I'm so delishious
You're so delishious
And so capricious
I grow ambitious
To have you care
For me (me!)
Ah (In that connection)
Ah (You're my selection)
For true affection (ah)
For all the time (ah)
To be (ah, be)
Oh, he's had one, two, three, four, five, six
Seven, eight, nine, ten girls before
But now there's one
And I'm the one
The one he does adore
'Cause you're delishious (you're so delish)
And so capricious (and so caprish)
If I'm repetitious (you're repetitious)
It's 'cause I'm so ('cause you are so)
Delishious (delishious)
Delishious (delishious)
Delishious (ah)
What can I say
To sing my praise of you?
I must reveal the things I feel
What can I say?
Each lovely phase of you
Just seems to baffle my descriptive powers
Four and twenty hours
Of every day
What can I say?
What is the thing I'd love to sing?
They've said you're marvelous
They've said you're wonderful
And yet that's not it
Now let me see
I think I've got it
I'm so delishious
And so capricious
I grow ambitious
To have you care for me
In that connection
You're my selection
For true affection
For all the time to be
Oh, he's had one, two, three, four, five, six
Seven, eight, nine, ten girls before
But now there's one
And I'm the one
The one he does adore
'Cause I'm delishious
And so capricious
If I'm repetitious
It's 'cause I'm so delishious
You're so delishious
And so capricious

And so capricious (and so caprish)
If I'm repetitious (you're repetitious)
It's 'cause I'm so ('cause you are so)
Delishious (delishious)
Delishious (delishious)
Delishious (ah)
