英國威爾斯非裔歌姬［雪莉貝西］──爵士／傳統流行情歌──［My Funny Valentine／我的有趣情人節］

My funny valentine

Sweet comic valentine

You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable

Unphotographable

Yet youre 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 dont change a hair for me

Not if you care for me

Stay little valentine stay

Each day is Valentines day

Is your figure less than Greek

Is your mouth a little weak

When you open it to Speak

Are you smart?

But dont change a hair for me

Not if you care for me

Stay little valentine stay

Each day is valentines day.

１９５９年，２２歲的英國威爾斯非裔歌姬雪莉貝西（Shirley Bassey）發行單曲［My Funny Valentine／我的有趣情人節］（Philips出版）

這是翻唱１９３７年Richard Rodgers和Lorenz Hart的成長音樂劇《Babes in Arms》中的一首曲子，由Mitzi Green介紹演唱。

雪莉版被製作成一首爵士／傳統流行情歌，在舒緩的樂聲中，

貝西扎實嗓音的詮釋宛如悠閒走在倫敦街頭的貴婦．

［My Funny Valentine］未入榜．

此曲收錄在雪莉１９５９年推出的第二張專輯［The Bewitching Miss Bassey］（John Franz, Mitch Miller製作）──這也是她首張發行１２吋黑膠唱片的大碟.
