A Fine Romance

Count Basie · Other Songs - Count Basie

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
