<jazz tempo>
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and
then rings
It was 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
It was one of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the
end of it
When we started jumpin' town
We'd have been aware that our
love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, good-bye and
amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and
then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those
things
<very brief instrumental>
It was just, just, just, just
It turned out to be one of those
grabbin' nights
Just one of those fabulous
flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer
wings
Yeah--ahh,
If we'd thought a bit 'bout the
end of it
When we started to bust up the
town
We'd have been aware that this
love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
ta-ta, so long and you might even add "Amen"
Here's hopin' we'll do it again
<tempo slows considerably>
It was great fun
But it was just one of those
things
