"It's Only a Paper Moon" is a popular song published in 1933 with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg and Billy Rose.


                                      

First Track - It`s Only A Paper Moon by Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra



Lyrics

Originally titled "If You Believed in Me", but subsequently renamed "It's Only a Paper Moon". The song first featured in an unsuccessful 1932 Broadway play called The Great Magoo that was set in Coney Island. It was also covered in the movie Take a Chance in 1933 when it was sung by June Knight and Charles "Buddy" Rogers.


Paul Whiteman recorded a hit version later that year (see above), released on the Victor label in October 1933 featuring Bunny Berigan on trumpet and Peggy Healy on vocals. A version released a month before Whiteman's was by Henry King and His Pierre Hotel Orchestra on the Vocalion label. Another popular 1933 recording was done by Cliff Edwards.

The song's lasting fame stems from its revival by popular artists during the last years of World War II, with hit recordings being made by Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Benny Goodman (vocal by Dottie Reid).

 It is now regarded as a jazz and pop standard, and has been recorded by numerous artists over the years.
