If You Could See Her

[EMCEE:] I know what you're thinking? You wonder 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 your 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 together I hear society groan But if they could see her through my eyes Maybe they'd leave us alone How can I speak of her virtues? I don't know where to begin: She's clever, she's smart, she reads music 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 [They waltz] 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!
