IT'S TOO GOOD TO TALK ABOUT NOW
(Cy Coleman / Carolyn Leigh)

as recorded by Blossom Dearie
1959 (released 1961)


It's "I don't know!", it's "watcha call!",
It's "words escape me!", oh it's "hang it all!".
It's the kiss that defies every dictionary,
Tell ya this though, whatever it is it's very!

So darling, say it's understood
That when you kiss this way, it's "knock on wood!".
It's "do it again", it's "the heck with it anyhow!",
It's "the cat's miaow!" and it's too good to talk about now!

It's "do it again", it's "the heck with it anyhow!",
It's "the cat's miaow!" and it's too good to talk about,
"Wee!", it's "wow!", it's too good to talk about,
Holy cow, too good to talk about now!
It's "the cat's miaow!" and it's too good to talk about,
It's "wee!", it's "wow!", it's too good to talk about,
Holy cow, it's too good to talk about now!
