I got a note from my cousin the other day He said his lady had gone on a holiday He thought she'd be back in a week or so But that was more than two months ago So this is romance So this is romance They'd been together devoted through thick and thin He really thought she would love no-one else but him But now he doesn't think she's being fair To be having so much fun with him not there So this is romance So this is romance In her last letter she was water-skiing And she has learnt to drive a car A gigolo bearing the name Romero Takes up her evenings in a cocktail bar So this is romance You don't stand a chance He felt mistreated but what could he say This was her idea of a holiday So he decided he'd go out and bring her home 'Till he found out she'd got married the week before Sorry I had no time to let you know But can I pour you a drink before you go So this is romance So this is romance (Goodbye goodbye)
