My Funny Valentine
Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart
Behold the way
our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade.
Thou knowest not,
my dim-witted 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 make me smile
with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
un-photographable
Yet you’re my favorite 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
my Valentine
Each day is
Valentine’s Day.
