Dear Sun Spots: You have been very helpful to our scholarship fund-raising endeavors in the past and I hope that we will have the some response this year.

Each year our small church attempts to raise money for a scholarship which goes to some deserving young person. We do this by having a craft fair and renting tables to any person who wants to sell their crafts.

This year’s event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 23 at the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in South Paris. Tables are available for $10.

Anyone wishing to rent a table can please call Marian Culbert at (207) 743-9832.

Thank you for your assistance in getting the word out. – Rev. Gertrude DeCoteau, Norway.

Dear Sun Spots: Might any of your readers have an electric bed similar to a Craft-O-Matic bed or so-called hospital bed? I am looking for one. Please call me at (207) 783-6038. If no answer, please leave a message. – Ben Adler, No Town.

Dear Sun Spots: Thank you so much for such a wonderful service you render.

Would you please be able to find the words of the second verse to the song “Funny Face?” Also, the words to the new version of “Yellow Rose of Texas” that is played at times on 103.3 FM.

If anyone out there can help me, I would like to hear from them. Please call me at (207) 784-8388. Thank you so very much. – Rose in Lewiston.

Answer: In addition to responses from readers, there appear to be several versions of “Funny Face.” Sun Spots is not sure if this is the one you recollect. This version is sung by Ella Fitzgerald:

Verse 1:

Jimmy:

Frankie, dear, your birthday gift reveals to me

That at heart you’re really not so bad.

If I add, your funny face appeals to me.

Please dont’ think I’ve suddenly gone mad.

You have all the qualities of Peter Pan;

I’d go far before I’d find a sweeter pan

And yet

Refrain:

I love your funny face,

Your sunny, funny face;

For you’re a cutie

With more than beauty

You’ve got a lot

Of personality N.T.

A thousand laughs I’ve found

In having you around.

Though you’re not Gloria Swanson,

For worlds I’d not replace

Your sunny, funny face.

Verse 2:

Frankie:

Needn’t tell me that I’m not so pretty, dear,

When my looking glass and I agree,

In the contest at Atlantic City, dear,

Miss America I’d never be,

Truth to tell, though, you’re not such a bad lot yourself;

As a Paul Swan, you are not so hot yourself.

And yet.

Refrain 2:

I love your funny face,

Your sunny, funny face;

You can’t repair it,

So I declare it

Is quite all right –

Jimmy:

Like Ronald Coleman?

Frankie:

So’s your ol’ man!

Yet it’s very clear,

I’m glad when you are near.

Though you’re no Handsome Harry

For worlds I’d not replace

Your sunny funny face.

Refrain 3:

I love that funny face,

That sunny, funny face;

Thought it upsets one,

in time, it gets one –

That’s true, for you

Have personality for two.

Those eyes! Those nose! Those cheek!

Won’t make a movie sheik,

But though you’re not patootie,

For worlds I’d not replace

Your sunny, funny face.

Extra chorus:

Frankie: [to dog]

I love your funny face,

Your sunny, funny face;

You never bother

About your father.

Have you no shame?

You’re just a mutt and nothing but!

Yet when you wag your tail,

You’ll never be for sale.

Though you’re no Rin Tin Tin, dear,

For worlds I’d not replace

Your sunny, funny face.
