A Fine Romance

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
