My Funny Valentine 1937

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Jul 2003

Behold the way our fine feathered friend
his virtue doth parade.
Thou knowest not, my dimwitted friend,
the picture thou hast made.
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
conceal thy good intent,
thou noble, upright, truthful sincere,
and slightly dopey gent.

You're my funny valentine,
sweet comic valentine,
you made me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
unphotographable,
yet you're my fav'rite 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 a hair for me,
not if you care for me,
stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day.

My funny valentine,
sweet comic valentine,
you made me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
unphotographable,
yet you're my fav'rite 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 a hair for me,
not if you care for me,
stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day.
