[English]

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?

Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?

Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?

Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?

Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?

Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?

Or is it at long last love?

Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?

Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?

Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?

Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?

Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?

Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?

Or is it at long long long last love?
