Yep, here's The Ballad of the Shape of Things, although it has no attribution and it's called "Shape of My Love" in the database. Here's the poop (from "Their Words Are Music, by Lehman Engel, 1975):
"The Ballad of the Shape of Things," by Sheldon Harnick. Copyright 1950 and 1966 by Saunders Publications, Inc.

"The Merry Little Minuet," by Sheldon Harnick, copyright 1958 by the New York Times Music Corporation (Sunbeam Music Division).Judy, I'm a voracious consumer of songbooks, and I gotta know about your Tom Glazer book. Are you sure it isn't the one by Joe Glazer and Edith Fowke called "Songs of Work and Protest," formerly known as "Songs of Work and Freedom"? The titles are just too darn similar.
