A Fine Romance (from "Swing Time") Lyrics
A Fine Romance - Fred Astaire
A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes
A fine romance you won't nestle
A fine romance you won't even wrestle
I never mussed the crease in your blue serge pants
I never have a chance this is a fine romance
A fine romance my good fellow
You take romance I'll take Jello
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all the morals
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance my friend this is
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
We don't have half the thrills that The March of Time has
A fine romance with no clinches
A fine romance with no pinches
You never give the orchids I send a glance
No you like cactus plants
This is a fine romance
