Ok, so I realize that there's not actually any video here, but I was kinda sort breaking the "No Recording" rule and was afraid to hold up my phone. lol Besides, it's Barbra. Sound is all that matters.

Funny
Did you hear that?
Funny
Yeah, the guy said
"Honey, you're a funny girl."
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half,
And though I may be all wrong for a guy,
I'm good for a laugh,
I guess it's not funny,
Life is far from sunny,
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you,
A girl oughta have a sense of humor
That's one thing you really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fella said "A funny girl"
Funny
How it ain't so funny,
Funny girl

Down with love
With flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love
The root of all midnight blues
Down with things
That give you that well-known pain
Take that moon
Wrap it in cellophane
Down with love let's liquidate
All it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with songs
That mourn about night and day
Down with love
Take it away, away
Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
To bees and the Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love
Down with love
Liquidate all it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with song
That mourns about night and day
You are the one...
And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you
Ah, the promised kiss of spring is here...
What does my heart go dancin' overhead...

Natural Sounds
My heart would make
Natural sounds
With you my love
The happy sound
Of water on stone
The quiet sound
Of waves on sand
When you hold my hand
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...
My head makes
Natural noises too
My love
The worrying sound of bees in the comb
The rushing sound of wind in the trees
When we kiss
And more than this I know
My heart would make
Natural sounds
If ever you should go
The hollow sound of stones dropped in a well
The lonely sound
Of rain in the night
Natural sounds
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...
Second Hand Rose
Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from fathers store
Even things I'm wearing someone wore before
Its no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
Thats why they call me
Second hand rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm sick of second hand curls
I never get a single think thats new
Even Jake, the plumber, hes a man I adore
Had the nerve to tell me hes been married before!

I couldn't resist when I found this. It's a video of clips and photos from the original Funny Girl production starring Barbra Streisand from over 40 years ago. It's set to a song that many of you may not have heard before, since it wasn't in the movie, just the stage show.

"A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it."
