Does anybody have any or all versions of the mid-'50's DeSoto "It's DeLightful, It's DeLovely, It's DeSoto" jingles in electronic form that can be e-mailed or posted somewhere for general access?
Also, does anyone have all the DeSoto version lyrics?
Thanks for any help you can provide...

Not sure if this is the version you are looking for? But here is one version.

Good stuff, Lee. Thanks!
Still looking for the full version that was eventually pressed onto a record. Not sure how long, but definitely longer than the version linked on your site. Also, still looking for the printed lyrics.

You must be looking for the full length original written by Cole porter sung by Frances Day rather than the jingle rewrite? Lyrics are available from several sources by doing a Google search.

Mark,
Somewhere at home( I am work now) I still have the napkin, that I saved from a National Desoto Convention years ago, that had the song printed on it.
Can't say which Convention, I think it was in Ohio, or Indiana. Greg Walters had us sing the song before dinner.
I doubt if it had all the verses on it, but, I know it had at least one.

I tried to find an old post, here on the Board, but can't go back far enough. I believe Bob Terpak, posted all the words, some time ago, when I requested them. Again, somewhere at home.............in my stuff..........
