The Real Thing (Album Version)

The Real Thing (Album Version) - ABC

It's real yeah so real yeah

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

It's the real thing the real thing

Nothing but the real thing it's real

It's real yeah so real yeah

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

It's the real thing the real thing

Nothing but the real thing it's real

It's real yeah so real yeah

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

Only a fool believes fairy tales

I heard all the lies

That they'll tell ya

"Phone me baby

The check's in the mail"

Well as fantasy

It might please ya

But 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

So real it's the oh yeah

Real yeah

It's real yeah so real yeah

It's real yeah and so real

So real yeah
