Poetry Train Monday - 139 - My Funny Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm off for a romantic dinner with my sweetie. So for today's Poetry Train, I'd like to share with you my favorite Valentine's song, My Funny Valentine by Rodgers and Hart. It's sung here by the marvellous Gordon MacRae.

For more poetry, Ride the Poetry Train!





My Funny Valentine


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

- Lorenz Hart, 1937














Travis says That is one of my all time favorite songs.

Thomma Lyn says Ha! That song has been running through my head all day, and here it is, on your blog. :)

Janet says Love that song - great choice for the day.
