"The Real Thing" - Lyrics
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
There’s a meaning there, but the meaning there doesn’t really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
I am the real thing!
Oo mama mow-mow (repeat x 4)
Oo mama mama mama mama mama mama mow
Tryin’ hard to understand the meaning that you’ll see in me
Tryin’ hard to understand the meaning that you’ll see in me
There’s a meaning there, but the meaning there doesn’t really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
I am the real thing!
Oo mama mow-mow (repeat x 4)
I am not seeing you
I am not seeing you
Ahhhhh!
I am the real thing!
(ad-lib fade-out)
