A Fine Romance

A Fine Romance - Ella Fitzgerald

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 potatoes

A fine romance

You won't nestle

A fine romance

You won't wrestle

I might as well play bridge

With my old maid aunt

I haven't got 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 morals

I've never mussed the crease in your blue serge pants

I never get the chance

This is a fine romance

A fine romance with no kisses

A fine romance my friend this is

We two should be like clams in a dish of chowder

But we just fizz like parts of a Siedlitz powder

A fine romance with no clinches

A fine romance with no cinches

You're just as had to land as the Isle d'France

I haven't got a chance

This is a fine romance
