My Funny Valentine

Nina Simone


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 bit 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 bit 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
