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

Yesterdays mashed potatoes

A fine romance

You won't nestle

A fine romance

You won't wrestle

I might as we'll 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 Seidlitz powder

A fine romance

With no clinches

A fine romance

With no pinches

You're just as hard to

Land as the Ile de France

I haven't got a chance

This is a fine romance
