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 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're just as hard to land as the Ile de France I haven't got a chance, my heart's not made of plastic You're the reason I'm sarcastic 'cause this is a fine, fine romance
