Thanks to Darryl Parry ( parry@geo.ucalgary.ca ) for providing the lyrics.
The last part of this arrangement you'll have to figure out yourself,
'cause I have no recording of this song. Anyway, here are the chords that go
with this last part :

[Dm7]My funny [A/Db]valentine,
[Dm/C]Sweet comic [Bm7b5]valentine,
[Bbmaj7]You make me [Gm7]smile with my [Em7b5]heart. [A7]

[Dm7]Your looks are [A/Db]affable.
[Dm/C]Unphoto[Bm7b5]graphable.
[Bbmaj7]Yet your my [Bbm7]favourite work of [C7b9]art.

Is your [Fmaj7]figure less than [Gm7]greek? [Am7] [Gm7]
Is your [Fmaj7]mouth a little [Gm7]weak?    [Am7] [Gm7]

[?]When you open it to speak, are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay.
Each day is Valentine's day.


Enjoy....
