A Fine Romance

Lyrics

[Chorus 1: 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 aunts I haven't got a chance This is a fine romance [Chorus 2: Louis Armstrong] Yes, a fine romance, my good fellow 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, yes 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 [Chorus 3: Ella Fitzgerald] A fine romance, my good fellow You take romance and I'll take Jell-O 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 [Chorus 4: Louis Armstrong] Yes, a fine romance, my dear judges Two old fogeys who need crutches True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has Oh, we don't have the thrills that the march of time has, (scat) A fine romance, my good woman My strong aged in the wood woman You never give the orchids I sent a glance No, you like cactus plants, ha ha This is a fine romance [Chorus 4: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Both] Yes, a fine romance, my dear dutchess Two old fogeys who need crutches True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has You know Louis, we don't have half the thrills that the march of time has You telling me, fine romance, my very good woman My strong aged in the wood woman You never give the orchids I sent a glance, yes No, I prefer cactus plants This is a fine romance
