about

Music by Richard 'Dick' Whiting, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer

lyrics

You're just too marvellous
Too marvellous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby, amorous.

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean, they're just not swell enough

You're much too much
And just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary

And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvellous
Just too marvellous for words

[Instrumental Break]

The sweetest words
In Keats and Shelley's lyrics
Aren't sweet enough to be your panegyrics!

And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvellous
Just too marvellous for words
