My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine
(Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart)

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!

Each day is Valentine's Day.

Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay!

Each day is Valentine's Day.
