The Real Thing

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
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau
Trying hard to understand
But really not
You're seeing me
Trying hard to understand
But really not
You're seeing 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
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau
I am not seeing you
I am not seeing you
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhhhh
Trying hard to understand
But really not
You're seeing me
Trying hard to understand
But really not
You're seeing 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
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau
Mmm, mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau-mau-ma-mau-ma-mau
(Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau)
(Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau)
I am the real thing
(Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau)
(Mmm, mau-ma-mau-mau)
I am the real thing (to fade)
