Words & Music by Dorothy Fields & Jerome Kern

A7 D   Cdim         A7 Fdim
A fine romance with no kisses,

  F#m7 Bm7           G  G/F# A7/6 A7
A fine romance, my friend,   this is;

   D         DM7    D7        G  G/F# Cdim  A7
We should be like a couple of hot to - ma - toes

     D6                B7         G#m7      F#7  B7
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes.

A7 D   Cdim         A7    Fdim
A fine romance, you won't nestle;

  F#m7 Bm7            G   G/F# A7/6   A7
A fine romance, you won't      wres - tle.

        D       A7      D7         D9  Am7  B7
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France! 

Em7      Fdim    F#m7   B7  Em7      A-9     D 
I haven't got a chance --  this is a fine romance. 

 

A7 D   Cdim         A7 Fdim
A fine romance, my good woman

   F#m7    Bm7          G   G/F# A7/6  A7
My strong, aged-in-the-wood       wo - man

        D6              B7         G#m7   F#7  B7
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic O - cean

    D6                   B7         G#m7 Gdim   F#7    B7
At least they flap their fins to express   e  -  mo - tion

A7 D   Cdim          A7  Fdim
A fine romance, with no clinches

   F#m7 Bm7         G  G/F#  A7/6   A7
A fine romance with no      hitch - es

     D    A7       D7         D9 Am7  B7
You never give the orchids I send a glance;

Em7     Fdim        F#m7   B7  Em7       A-9     D 
No, you like cactus plants --  this is a fine romance.
