I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place


Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm


You smile, the bubble has a rainbow
in it


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


Hanging 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


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


[scat singing interlude]


Yes, it's only a canvas sky


Hanging 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


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


[scat singing...to end]
