A Fine Romance Lyrics - Fred Astaire

(from "Swing Time") 

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.

No, you like cactus plants. 

This is a fine romance.
