Just One of Those Things

As Dorothy Parker once said

To her boyfriend, "fare thee well"

Love, love, love, lovely

As Columbus announced

When he knew he was bounced

"It was swell, Isabel, swell"

Love, love, love, love, love, love, lovely

As Abelard said to Heloise

"Heloise, 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

One of those crazy flings

One of the bells that now and then ring

Just one of those things

Now it was just one of those nights

Ah, just one of those crazy flights

A trip to the moon on nuclear wings

Oh, just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, at 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

Oh, so farewell, my good friend

Here's hoping that we meet again

It was great fun, oh

But it was just one of those things

One of those things

It was just one of those nights

Ah, the crazy flights

And a trip to the moon on nuclear wings

Just one of those things

If we'd thought of it, at the end it

When we started painting the town

We'd have been aware, that our love affair

Was too hot, oh, not to cool down

Great fun, one of those things

Now it was just, just, just, just

Just one of those things
