A Fine Romance

Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern

© Harms Music, ASCAP

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 and 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
[ instrumental ]
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 headache powder

A fine romance with no clinches
A fine romance with no pinches
You're just as hard to land as the Heure de France
I haven't got a chance this is a fine romance
This is a fine romance
