My Funny Valentine
Embracing Imperfection: A Love Letter to the Quirks
Lyrics
Behold the way our fine feathered friend
Observing the way our impressive bird friend behaves
His virtue doth parade
His goodness is on display
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
You, my not-so-bright friend, are unaware
The picture thou hast made
The image you present
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Your vacant expression and messy hair
Conceal thy good intent
Hide your true intentions
Thou noble upright truthful sincere
You are a noble, honest, truthful, and slightly foolish gentleman
And slightly dopey gent, you are
Addressed to the person described above
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
My amusing valentine, endearing comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
You bring joy to my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Your appearance is amusing and cannot be captured in a photo
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
Yet, you are my favorite masterpiece
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your physique not as perfect as a Greek sculpture?
Is your mouth a little weak?
Is your speech not very strong?
When you open it to speak
When you talk, do you lack eloquence?
Are you smart?
Are you intelligent?
But, don't change a hair for me
But, please don't change anything about yourself for me
Not if you care for me
Not if you truly care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Remain, my little valentine, stay the same
Each day is Valentine's Day
Every day is like Valentine's Day with you
Is your figure less than Greek?
Repetition of the question about physique
Is your mouth a little weak?
Repetition of the question about speech
When you open it to speak
Repetition of the question about eloquence
Are you smart?
Repetition of the question about intelligence
But, don't change a hair for me
Reiteration of not wanting any change
Not if you care for me
Emphasizing that no change is needed if there is genuine care
Stay little valentine, stay
Repeat plea to stay the same
Each day is Valentine's Day
Every day should feel like Valentine's Day
