History
"Just One of Those Things" was initially written by Cole Porter to be used in the 1935 musical Jubilee. Jubilee has been known as one of Porter's finest musicals, featuring grand music and satisfying comedy. This is also the same production that introduced one of Porter's most memorable works, "Begin the Beguine."

Since its creation in 1935, "Just One of Those Things" has become a common jazz standard featured and referenced several times among television and film.

Lyrics
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 about 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
