Too Marvelous For Words 
Richard A. Whiting and Johnny Mercer, from the movie Ready, Willing and Able
Bing Crosby with Jimmy Dorsey (#1 in 1937), Billie Holiday, Nat 'King' Cole, Rosemary Clooney

I search for phrases
To sing your praises
But there aren't any magic adjectives
To tell you all you are!

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 to 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.




Bing Crosby's hit lasted 10 weeks on the Hit Parade. Bing was not in the movie.
