(Intro)
[Horn stab • slap-bass pocket • wah-wah guitar]
Florence, you hit my soul like a brass line in the night,
Valentine lights swing low and the city feels right.
(Short drum fill)
(Verse 1)
Remember the fire-escape two-step, when we learned to sway?
Your laugh cut through sirens like a bright parade.
You winked and the rooftop turned into our private parade—
A tiny joke, your shoulder nudge, the way you led the way.
(Production cue: tight slap-bass, muted guitar chanks)
(Pre-Chorus)
You keep the rhythm where my heartbeat used to hide,
Syncopated whispers sliding up my spine.
(Horn soft answer)
(Chorus)
Funky Valentine — you make my heart slap bass.
(Backing: “Slap bass!” • horn stab)
Groove me, Florence — you put love on replay.
(Backing: “On replay!”)
Funky Valentine — my melody, my light, my grace,
Baby, you’re my music, forever my Valentine.
(Backing call-and-response: “Forever! / My Val-en-tine!”)
(Verse 2)
You move like a wah-wah whisper, a secret in neon blue,
We traded half-smiles and a coffee-cup clue.
You taught me the little slide — that cheeky, crooked move —
Now every streetlamp sways when you're in the groove.
(Production cue: horn riff echoes the melody)
(Pre-Chorus)
Those tiny gestures stack like syncopated gold,
You write the verses I didn't know I could hold.
(Harmony: “Ooh ooh”)
(Chorus)
Funky Valentine — you make my heart slap bass.
(Backing: “Give it that slap!” • horns answer)
Groove me, Florence — my Valentine on repeat.
(Backing: “Repeat!”)
Funky Valentine — your laugh the snare that keeps my place,
Baby, you’re my music, my Valentine, my heartbeat.
(Bridge — half-time spoken / rhythmic breakdown)
(Beat cuts to half-time • bass hum • light hi-hat taps)
Speak: Florence — slow: when you say my name the room sways like a chorus line.
(Short beat)
Remember that small joke about the purple umbrella?
You said "dance like the rain never watched us," and we did —
So now every thunderclap is a high-hat hit that pulls me to you.
(Spoken over a soft horn pad, then build)
(Instrumental Breakdown)
[Horn stabs • slap-bass solo • wah-wah guitar lick • backing “oh!” responses]
Call: “Funky!” — Response: “Valentine!” — Call: “Florence!” — Response: “Mine!”
(Chorus — escalate)
Funky Valentine — you make my heart slap bass.
(Backing: “Slap bass!” • horns burst)
Groove me, Florence — on repeat, through time and space.
(Backing: “Through time!”)
Funky Valentine — your smile’s the bridge I can’t erase,
Baby, you’re my music — forever my Valentine.
(Backing: “Forever!” • full horn section, claps)
(Outro)
Let the funk carry us — horn stabs like fireworks in the night,
Slap bass heartbeat, wah-wah whisper, our neon-love light.
Florence, my baby, in every groove and every line —
You’re the chorus I keep coming back to, my Funky Valentine.
(Last tag: horns answer, fading slap-bass groove)
