| As Dorothy Parker once said
|
| To her boyfriend, «fare thee well»
|
| Love, love, love, lovely
|
| As Columbus announced
|
| When he knew he was bounced
|
| «It was swell, Isabel, swell»
|
| Love, love, love, love, love, love, lovely
|
| As Abelard said to Heloise
|
| «Heloise, don’t forget to drop a line to me, please»
|
| As Juliet cried, in her Romeo’s ear
|
| «Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear»
|
| It was just one of those things
|
| One of those crazy flings
|
| One of the bells that now and then ring
|
| Just one of those things
|
| Now it was just one of those nights
|
| Ah, just one of those crazy flights
|
| A trip to the moon on nuclear wings
|
| Oh, just one of those things
|
| If we’d thought a bit, at the end of it
|
| When we started painting the town
|
| We’d have been aware that our love affair
|
| Was too hot, not to cool down
|
| Oh, so farewell, my good friend
|
| Here’s hoping that we meet again
|
| It was great fun, oh
|
| But it was just one of those things
|
| One of those things
|
| It was just one of those nights
|
| Ah, the crazy flights
|
| And a trip to the moon on nuclear wings
|
| Just one of those things
|
| If we’d thought of it, at the end it
|
| When we started painting the town
|
| We’d have been aware, that our love affair
|
| Was too hot, oh, not to cool down
|
| Great fun, one of those things
|
| Now it was just, just, just, just
|
| Just one of those things |
