Billie Holiday - A Fine Romance (Early Classics)
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

| Does anyone know the story behind this song? Was Billie actually in a relationship like this or not? |

| Une interprétation jazzy unique bien plus jolie que la version originale Française. Billie avait une voix chaleureuse et inimitable. Elle nous manque. |

| Yes, Billy Holiday always went for the bad guy in the crowd...and yes she could cuss and fight just as good as a man. So in a way she could hold her own in any crowd of people. She once faught a man who made negative remarks about her race and spit on her fur coat. Ms. Holiday was one hell'ave woman if you ask me. She had to be, she lived during the time of Jim Crow. |

| I grew up listening to the only and only Billie Holiday, her voice is timeless, it moves me just like it did when i first heard her, many moons ago in good old east London. I adore her |
