Funny Girl - Father John Misty

Funny girl

You look so unassuming

Right up until

The room you’re captivating

Starts to fill with gut-busting laughter

And you’re transformed into a five-foot Cleopatra

Funny girl

Your schedule’s pretty crazy

Doing interviews

For the new live action, Cathy

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 yearn 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
