That version of the song was originally featured in the film CS Blues, which shows Mick at the piano from 7:52 to 8:28.

Below is a link to a metafilter page where the song is discussed. Lyrics are printed, and apparently the song's title is "Fragile".

It's funny, funny, funny, funny, funny...
It's funny, honey
It's funny
It's funny
Funny.
Ain't it nice to go on a Sunday afternoon?
Watching all the children in their Sunday suits
Thinking 'bout the times I had when I was just a baby
Wondering if I would ever feel that kind of cold
You know it's funny...


According to bloggers on the metafilter page, a version can be found on "Dallas Rehearsals" (Dallas, Texas, June 23, 1972).

I love this song, always wanted to know more about it but can't find anything that hasn't already been mentioned here.

I downloaded the version of Dallas Rehearsals referenced above from Hungercity, and it has the CS Blues recording of the song at the end.


Ya know what! Instead of tacking Title 5 on the Exile bonus disc, they should have put Fragile (It's Funny) there as the last track, perhaps with a little fade to smooth things out.

I've loved this song since I first saw CS Blues in the 80s..
It sounds like something that wasn't finished, just a little piece he was working on..
but it has a beautiful, gentle, evocative feel to it...those minor-7 chords!
