the real thing şarkı sözü

a mongoose can smile at a cobra
but that cobra will always be a snake
diamante can shine like a diamond
but you know, like i know
that rock will be fake

it´s the real thing
the real thing
nothing but the real thing
it´s real

you can xerox the mona lisa
deadpan da vinci in every detail
might beat customs on a home-made visa
but false papers
only gets you in jail

it´s the real thing
the real thing
nothing but the real thing
it´s real

life wears a smile on its face
but it comes with a sting in its tail
make believe fables have their place
but only a fool. only a fool
believes fairy tales

i heard all the lies that they tell ya
´phone me baby. the cheque´s in the mail´
well as fantasy. it may please ya
as the real thing
it does nothing but fail

it´s the real thing
the real thing
nothing but the real thing
it´s real

it´s the real thing
the real thing
nothing but the real thing
it´s real
