GINGER: |
|
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've never mussed a crease in your blue serge pants. |
|
I never had the chance. |
|
This is a fine romance. |
|
A fine romance, my good fellow. |
|
You take romance. 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 the morals. |
|
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France. |
|
I never get the chance. |
|
This is a fine romance. |
|
FRED: |
|
A fine romance, with no kisses. |
|
A fine romance, my friend, this is. |
|
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, with no clinches. |
|
A fine romance, with no pinches. |
|
You never give the orchids I send a glance. |
|
No, you like cactus plants. |
|
This is a fine romance. |
