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

It's all so wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough tell enough
I mean just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
You're 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 to words

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

It's all so 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
You're 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

Like glorious and glamorous
Too marvelous for words
