Frankie, dear, your birthday gift reveals to me
|
That at heart you're really not so bad.
|
If I add, y our funny face appeals to me.
|
Please dont' think I've suddenly gone mad.
|
You have all the qualities of Peter Pan;
|
I'd go far before I'd find a sweeter pan
|
And yet
|
|
I love your funny face,
|
Your sunny, funny face;
|
For you're a cutie
|
With more than beauty
|
You've got a lot
|
Of personality N.T.
|
A thousand laughs I've found
|
In having you around.
|
Through you're not Gloria Swanson,
|
For worlds I'd not replace
|
Your sunny, funny face.
|
|
[Frankie:]
|
Needn't tell me that I'm not so pretty, dear,
|
When my looking glass and I agree,
|
In the contest at Atlantic City, dear,
|
Miss America I'd never be,
|
Truth to tell, though, you're not such a bad lot yourself;
|
As a Paul Swan, you are not so hot yourself.
|
And yet.
|
|
I love your funny face,
|
Your sunny, funny face;
|
You can't repair it,
|
So I declare it
|
Is quite all right -
|
|
[Jimmy:]
|
Like Ronald Colman?
|
|
[Frankie:]
|
So's your ol' man!
|
Yet it's very clear,
|
I'm gladwhen you are near.
|
Though you're no Handsome Harry
|
For worlds I'd not replace
|
Your sunny funny face.
|
|
I love that funny face,
|
That sunny, funny face;
|
Thought it upsets one,
|
in time, it gets one -
|
That's true, for you
|
Have personality for two.
|
Those eyes! Those nose! Those cheek!
|
Won't make a movie sheik,
|
But though your'e not patootie,
|
For worlds I'd not replace
|
Your sunny, funny face.
|
|
[Frankie to dog:]
|
I love your funny face,
|
Your sunny, funny face;
|
You never bother
|
About your father.
|
Have you no shame?
|
You're just a mutt and nothing but!
|
Yet when you wag your tail,
|
You'll never be for sale.
|
Though you're no Rin Tin Tin, dear,
|
For worlds I'd not replace
|
Your sunny, funny face.
