[Verse 1]
Say it's only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard scene
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
[Verse 2]
Say it's only a canvas sky
Drooping 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 kiss
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
Believе in me
[Instrumental Break]
[Scatting]
[Bridge]
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your kiss
It's a mеlody 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
[Outro]
If you, ha, believed in me
