Cole Porter Live Songbook

などいろんな人が歌ってるjazzのスタンダードです。
歌詞を読んでいったり、いろんな人のバージョンを聞いてると、強がってるコールポーターの姿が思い浮かぶ。
ありふれたことさ、なんて言って実は手放しで喜びたいのを彼女の前で隠してる、そんな感じ。

Miss Otis Regrets/Just One of those Things

[Just One Of Those Things]
As Dorothy Parker once said to her boy friend,
"Fare thee well,"
As Columbus announced when he knew he was bounced,
"It was swell, Isabelle, swell,"
As Abélard said to Héloïse,
"Don't forget to drop a line to me, please,"
As Juliet cried in her Romeo's ear,
"Romeo, why not face that fact, 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 goodbye, Dear, and Amen.
Here's hoping we meet now and then,
It was great fun,
But it was just one of those things.
