ABC - The Real Thing lyrics
[ABC - The Real Thing lyrics]
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 it's face
But it comes with a sting in it's 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
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 it's face
But it comes with a sting in it's 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
