If You Could See Her

Emcee (appearing with a Gorilla)

I know what you're thinking:

You wondered why I chose her

Out of all the ladies in the world.

That's just a first impression,

What good's a first impression?

If you knew her like I do

It would change you're point of view.

If you could see her through my eyes

You wouldn't wonder at all.

If you could see her through my eyes

I guarantee you would fall (like I did).

When we're in public togtheer

I hear society moan.

But if they could see her through my eyes

Maybe they'd leave us alone.

Spoken: (There you are my liebling. Your favourite!)

How can I speak of her virtues,

I don't know where to begin?

She's clever, she's smart, she reads musics

She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do).

Yet when we're walking together

They sneer if I'm holding her hand.

But if they could see her through my eyes

Maybe they'd all understand.

(Emcee and Gorilla dance)

Why can't they leave us alone.

Spoken: Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames and Messieurs

Ladies and Gentleman

Is it a crime to fall in love?

Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?

All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstandnis

Why can't the world leben und leben lassen?

'Live and let live....'

I understand your objection

I grant you the problem's not small

But if you could see her through my eyes

She wouldn't look Jewish at all.
