Lyrics
As Dorothy Parker once said to her boyfriend
"Fare thee well,"
As Columbus announced when he knew he was bounced
"It was swell, Isabelle, swell"
As Abelard said to 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
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
