Jazz Lead Sheet Transposed for E♭ — alto sax, baritone sax
Lyrics
1937 - Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart 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 smart? But 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? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay, little valentine, stay Each day is Valentine's Day
