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

george and ira gershwin

a foggy day, in london town
it had me low, and it had me down
i viewed the morning, with much alarm
the british museum, had lost its charm

how long i wondered, could this thing last
but the age of miracles, it hadn’t past
and suddenly, i saw you standing right there
and in foggy london town, the sun was shining everywhere

carmen lombardo / john jacob loeb

a sailboat in the moonlight
and you
wouldn’t that be heaven
a heaven just for two
a soft breeze on a june night and you
what a perfect setting
for letting dreams come true

a chance to sail away
to sweetheart bay
beneath the stars that shine
a chance to drift
for you to lift
your tender lips to mine
some things dear
that i long for are few
just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you

a chance to sail away
to sweetheart bay
beneath the stars that shine
a chance to drift
for you to lift
your tender lips to mine
some things dear
that i long for are few
just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you

irving kahal / sammy fain

a sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat
shy little he and she
were declaring love’s old story
in the shade of the old apple tree,,

a sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat
decided to say, "i do"
so they rode to june and glory
on a bicycle built for two
hear the past. the song is old.
the summer days are through
with silver threads among the gold
they still say, "i love you"

a sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat
are true to this very day
for he loves her in december
as he did in may

porter grainger / everett robbins

there ain’t nothing i can do
or nothing i can say
that folks don’t criticize me
but i’m going to do
just as i want to anyway
and don’t care just what people say
if i should take a notion
to jump into the ocean
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
if i go to church on sunday
then cabaret all day monday
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
if my man ain’t got no money
and i say "take all mine, honey"
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
if i give him my last nickel
and it leaves me in a pickle
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
but i’d rather my man would hit me
than follow him to jump up and quit me
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
i swear i won’t call no copper
if i’m beat up by my papa
ain’t nobody’s business if i do
nobody’s business
ain’t nobody’s business
nobody’s business if i do
