MY FUNNY VALENTINE
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 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
