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
