A Fine Romance

A Fine Romance - Fred Astaire/Ruby Keller/Chick Chandler

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've never mussed a crease

In your blue serge pants

I never had the chance

This is a fine romance

A fine romance

My good fellow

You take romance

I'll take Jell-o

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
