The lyrics of this song are as follows:

“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 aunt
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”

Due to its enormous success, this song became a Jazz Standard and has been performed by great artists such as Bing Crosby, Victor Young, Henry King, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, Kenny Burrell, Paul Desmond, Dave Brubeck, Erroll Garner, Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Count Basie, Joe Williams, Sammy Davis Jr., Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Marian McPartland, Johnny Mercer, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Margaret Whiting, and many others.
