It's Only A Paper Moon (01-?-46) |
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 Seidlitz powder |
A fine romance, with no glitches |
A fine romance, with no bitches |
You’re just as hard to land as the 'Isle de France' |
I haven’t got a chance |
This is a fine romance |
