Paper Moon

You say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hangin' over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

(scats)

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
Just wouldn't be a make believe
(scats)
If you believed in me
