A Fine Romance Songtext
von 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 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

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
