I don't know how many of you know Trumpeter, Chris Botti, but he is one of the best jazz trumpeters in the world... and this afternoon I bring one of his songs to you titled "My FUnny Valentine, which many of you have probably heard from time to time... He is joined by an excellent male singer by the name of Sting and he does a superb job with the lyrics... My Funny Valentine was written by lyricist Lorenz Hart & composer Richard Rogers... It was written for the musical "Babes in Arms" in which it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green and was published in 1937...

Enjoy my Brothers and Sisters!!!

My Funny Valentine written by lyricist Lorenz Hart & composer Richard Rogers
Lyrics
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

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
