Tour Scotland My Funny Valentine Video

Tour Scotland My Funny Valentine Video. Sung by Scottish singer Rod Paterson

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?

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 ?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay !
Each day is valentine's day.
