Funny Face
Fred Astaire Kay Thompson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.

Your thousand laughs I found
In having you around
Though you're no Shirley Temple
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face

It's oh so very clear
I'm glad when you are near
No angel child from Heaven
Could ever take your place




I love that sunny, that's sweeter than honey
Sunny, funny face
