Original Broadway Cast of Bye Bye Birdie
Honestly Sincere
[Girl]
Speak to us, oh beautiful one, tell us how you make that
Glorious sound, that even now an anticipation of it has
Reduced me to a snarling, raging, panting, jungle beast!
[Birdie]
You gotta be sincere!
You gotta be sincere!
You gotta feel it here
'Cause if you feel it here
Well, then you're gonna be honestly sincere!
If what you feel is true
You really feel it you
Make them feel it too
Write this down now
You gotta be sincere
Honestly sincere!
Man, you've got to be sincere!
If you're really sincere
If you're really sincere
If you feel it in here
Then it's gotta be right!

My sincerity shows thro'

Don't even have to try

If you're really sincere!
If you feel it in here
Then it's gotta be right!
