My Funny Valentine

Ella Fitzgerald · Christmas & Hits Duos (Slip) [2008]

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, unphotographable

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 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 a hair for me, not if you care for me

Stay little valentine, stay, each day is valentine's day
