A Fine Romance Lyrics

A fine romance with no kisses 

 A fine romance, my friend, this is 

 We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes (to-mah-toes, dear) 

 But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes (potatoes) 

  

 A fine romance, you won't nestle 

 A fine romance, you won't even wrestle 

 You've never mussed the crease in my blue serge pants 

 You never take 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, my dear Duchess 

 Two old fogies, we really need crutches 

 You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France! (Fronce) 

 I haven't got a chonce (chance), this is a fine romance 

  

 A fine romance, my good woman 

 My strong, aged-in-the-wood woman 

 You never give those orchids I send a glance 

 They're just like cactus plants, (oh boy) 

 This is a fine romance
