Re: My Funny Valentine
G-d bless www.lyrics.ch. And bless you, Jessyka. I did "Babes in Arms" in high
school, but I'd thought the song came from another show originally, and just
got added to "BIA." We also did "A 1940s Radio Show," and that had EVERYTHING
in it. It had a half-page of copyright renewals, they'd changed it so often.
As I remember, one of the most powerful renditions of this song was done by
Miles Davis. Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Linda Ronstadt, and Ol' Blue Eyes
covered it, too. It always reminds me of the first guy I ever dated. Sigh. So
now you know.
My Funny Valentine
Behold the way our fine, feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowst not, my dimwitted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Concealed by 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
Still 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
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day
