"Just One Of Those Things" lyrics

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"
[Scat]

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

[Scat]

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
[Scat]

Great fun, one of those things
Now it was just, just, just, just
Just one of those things
