Funny Girl Songtext

von Father John Misty

Funny girl
You look so unassuming right up until
The room you′re captivating starts to fill
With gut-busting laughter
You're transformed into a five-foot Cleopatra

Funny girl
Your schedule′s pretty crazy doing interviews
For the new live action Kathy
Could you pencil in an industry outsider?
Yeah, you're young, but baby, you're not getting younger

Funny girl

For once your timing wasn′t great
I must have missed you by a day
But baby, things have turned out pretty good this way
And I don′t think either of us yearns to share the stage

Funny girl
You seem pretty indifferent, but you knocked me out
When you charmed the pants off Letterman
Oh, I wish you'd flash that manic smile in my direction
And let me lead you to your seat like we were old friends

Funny girl
