VERSE

    As Dorothy Parker Once said to her boy friend，

    "Fare thee well，"

    As Columbus announced when he knew he was bounced，

    "It was swell¹， 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？"

    REFRAIN

    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 fabulous² flights，

    A trip to the moon on gossamer³ wings，

    Just one of those things.

    If we'd though 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 goodbye， dear， and amen.

    Here's hoping we meet now and then，

    It was great fun，

    But it was just one of those things.
