Just One of Those Things

As Dorothy Parker once said

To her boyfriend, "fare thee well"

As Columbus announced

When he knew he was bounced,

"It was swell, Isabel, swell"

As Abelard said to Eloise,

"Don't forget to drop a line to me, please"

As Juliet cried, in her Romeo's ear,

"Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear"

It was just one of those things

Just one of those crazy flings

One of those bells that now and then rings

Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights

Just one of those fabulous flights

A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it

When we started painting the town

We'd have been aware that our love affair

Was too hot, not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen

Here's hoping we meet now and then

It was great fun

But it was just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it

When we started painting the town

We'd have been aware that our love affair

Was too hot, not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen

Here's hoping we meet now and then

It was great fun

But it was just one of those things

Just one of those things
