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
