It’s Only a Paper Leaf

Melodi och inspiration: It’s Only a Paper Moon

Say, its only a paper leaf
Acting firm as a solid tree
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it’s only a minor group
We pretend it’s democracy
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your faith
It’s a rum ‘n frido slush
Without your faith
Annie’s left with no gun in the bird cherry brush

It’s a batra and birchgrove world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

It’s phony it’s plain to see
How happy I would be
If you believed in me
