A fine romance, with no kisses,
A fine romance, my friend, this
is!
We should be like a couple of hot
tomatos.
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 aunts,
I haven't got a chance.
This is as 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 touched the crease in
your blue serge pants,
I never get the chance.
This is a fine romance!
