Delishious Lyrics
(Performed by Jennifer Laura Thompson)


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 ev'ry 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 caprishious;
I grow ambishious
To have you care for me.

In that connecshion,
You're my selecshion
For true affecshion
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 so delishious
And so caprishious;
If I'm repetishious,
It's cause I'm so delishious.

[Chorus]
You're so delishious
And so caprishious;
I grow ambishious
To have you care for me.

In that connecshion,
You're my selecshion
For true affecshion
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 you're delishious
And so caprishious;
If I'm repetishious,
It's cause I'm so delishious!
