A Fine Romance 1936 Kern

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!

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!

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!

A fine romance!
My dear Duchess!
Two old fogies
who need crutches!
True love should have
the thrills that a healthy crime has!
We don't have
half the thrills
that the "March of Time" has!
A fine romance
my good woman!
My strong "Aged in the wood" woman!
You never give
the orchids I send a glance!
No! You like cactus plants.
This is a fine romance!
