"It's Only A Paper Moon / I Like Him" lyrics
(from "Funny Lady" soundtrack)
[Fanny:]
Say it's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me
I like him
I know he's phoney
But when they package it nice and market it right, I buy baloney
Yes. I like him though I can see that he's the type
I'd better get busy and do unto to first
Before I find he's done unto me
He's mostly made of chutzpah
A fake, a con, a lie
Could be I like him maybe 'cause so am I
Say it's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me
I like him
I know he's phoney
But when they package it nice and market it right, I buy baloney
Yes. I like him though I can see that he's the type
I'd better get busy and do unto to first
Before I find he's done unto me
He's mostly made of chutzpah
A fake, a con, a lie
Could be I like him maybe 'cause so am I
