Verse 1:

Jimmy:

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

Refrain:

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.

Verse 2:

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.

Refrain 2:

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.

Refrain 3:

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.

Extra chorus:

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.
