about

live duets with Paul Smoker
akin to those we shared when a student in Iowa
in the late 1970's & early 1980's
at Coe College, IA

lyrics

MY FUNNY VALENTINE

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 smiling?
But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me

Stay, little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
