Funny Face 1927 'Funny Face'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Aug 2004

[Jimmy:] Frankie, dear,
your birthday gift reveals to me
That at heart you're really not so bad.
If I add, your funny face appeals to me.
Please don't think I've suddenly gone mad.
You have all the qualities of Peter Pan;
I'd go far before I'd find a sweeter Pan
And yet

I love your funny face,
Your sunny, funny face;
For you're a cutie
With more than beauty
You've got a lot
Of personality N.T.
A thousand laughs I've found
In having you around.
Through you're no Gloria Swanson,
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face.

I love your funny face,
Your sunny, funny face;
For you're a cutie
With more than beauty
You've got a lot
Of personality N.T.
A thousand laughs I've found
In having you around.
Through you're no Gloria Swanson,
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face.

[Frankie:] Needn't tell me
that I’m not so pretty, dear,
When my looking glass and I agree,
In the contest at Atlantic City, dear,
Miss America I'd never be,
Truth to tell, though,
you're not such a bad lot yourself;
As a Paul Swan, you are not so hot yourself.
And yet.

I love your funny face,
Your sunny, funny face;
You can't repair it,
So I declare it
Is quite all right

[Jimmy:] Like Ronald Colman?

[Frankie:] So's your ol' man!
Yet it's very clear,
I'm glad when you are near.
Though you're no handsome harry
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny funny face.

I love that funny face,
That sunny, funny face;
Though it upsets one,
In time, it gets one
That's true, for you
Have personality for two.
Those eyes! Those nose! Those cheek!
Won't make a movie sheik,
But though you're not patootie,
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face.
