My Funny Valentine - Chet Baker

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite 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

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite 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 you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is Valentine’s Day

Each day is Valentine’s Day

‘Jesus please meet me at the centre of the earth
Cos these wings are gonna fail me and I could have done me worse’

cakewalk into town

I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown 
You know I’m feeling so much bteter, I could cakewalk1 into town
Honey, I woke up this mornin’ feelin’ so good, you know I laid back down again 
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walks 
And when my woman gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
My work is getting scarce, oh baby, my work it done got hard, 
I spend my whole day stealin’ chickens Honey from the rich folks yard
I would love to take a picnic in the country and stay all day 
I wouldn’t do nothing but while my blues away
I had the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown 
You know I’m feelin’ so much better I could cakewalk into town
