Chorus 1:
                     
  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
     Cm6Dbdim
With no kisses
  Dm7  Gm7
A fine romance,
   Cm7     F7
My friend, this is
   Bb               Bb6
We should be like a couple of
Dbdim  Cm7F7
hot to-ma-toes
    Bb6               G7
But you're as cold as yesterday's
Eb7       D7 G7   F7
mashed po-ta-toes

  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
    Cm6   Dbdim
You won't nestle
  Dm7  Gm7
A fine romance,
    Cm7   F7
You won't wrestle
     Bb              Bb7
I've  never mussed a crease in your
           Eb    G7
Blue serge pants
Cm7     Dbdim   Dm7    Fdim
I never had the chance
Cm7       F7      Bb    DdimCm7F7
This is a fine ro-mance

Chorus 2:

  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
   Cm6  Dbdim
My good fellow
    Dm7  Gm7
You take romance.
     Cm7  F7
I'll take Jello
       Bb              Bb6
You're calmer than the seals
       Dbdim  Cm7F7
In the Arctic O-cean
   Bb6                   G7
At least they flap their fins to
   Eb7     D7 G7   F7
Ex-press e-mo-tion

  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
     Cm6Dbdim
With no quarrels
     Dm7Gm7
With no insults,
    Cm7     F7
And all the morals
       Bb              Bb6
You're just as hard to land
              Eb     G7
As the Ile de France
Cm7     Dbdim   Dm7    Fdim
I never get the chance
Cm7       F7      Bb    DdimCm7F7
This is a fine ro-mance

Chorus 3:

  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
     Cm6Dbdim
With no kisses
  Dm7  Gm7
A fine  romance,
   Cm7      F7
My  friend, this is
     Bb                   Bb6
True love should have the thrills that
  Dbdim   Cm7   F7
A healthy crime has
   Bb6                  G7
We don't have half  the thrills that
     Eb7      D7   G7  F7
"The March of Time"has

  Bb   Bdim
A fine romance,
     Cm6Dbdim
With no clinches
  Dm7  Gm7
A fine romance,
     Cm7F7
With no pinches
    Bb             Bb7
You never give the orchids
         Eb     G7
I send a glance
Cm7          Dbdim  Dm7    Fdim
No, you like cactus plants
Cm7       F7      Bb
This is a fine ro-mance
