IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON
Words by Billy Rose and E.Y. Harburg
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
SAY, IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON,
SAILING OVER A CARDBOARD SEA,
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE BELIEVE,
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME,
Verse 2
YES, IT’S ONLY A CANVAS SKY,
HANGING OVER A MUSLIN TREE,
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE BELIEVE,
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME,
Bridge
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE,
IT’S A HONKY-TONK PARADE,
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE,
IT’S A MELODY PLAYED IN A PENNY ARCADE,
Verse 3
IT’S A BARNUM AND BAILEY WORLD,
JUST AS PHONY AS IT CAN BE,
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE BELIEVE,
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME.
(Repeat Chorus)
