You're just too marvelous, too marvelous 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 just aren't 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 marvelous - too marvelous for words.

(Musical interlude)

You're much - you're too much - and just too "very, very"

To ever be, to ever be in Webster's Dictionary.

And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds

To tell you that you're marvelous;

Tell you that you're marvelous;

Tell you that you're marvelous - too marvelous for words.
