My Funny Valentine Lyrics

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In the original Broadway musical Babes in Arms this song was performed by a woman adressing a man actually called Valentine.

She is teasing him, pointing out his flawed physique and intelligence. Nevertheless she doesn’t want him to change as he makes her happy.
