There's No Business Like Show Business: Songs from Broadway Musicals, Vol. 2
[Verse 1: Ginger Rogers]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
A fine romance, with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France
I never get the chance, this is a fine romance

[Verse 5: Fred Astaire]
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

[Verse 6]
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
