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 your hair for me

Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine, stay! Each day is Valentines 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 your hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine, stay! Each day is Valentines day
