It's Only A Paper Moon
(Harold Arlen, Billy Rose, E. Y. Harburg)
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.
Say 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.

“Almost all people are hypnotics.
The proper authority saw to it that the proper belief should be induced and the people believed properly.” — Charles Hoy Fort
