"If You Could See Her Through My Eyes", from the musical, "Cabaret."

The cabaret owner in Nazi-era Germany, while strolling onstage with someone in a gorilla suit, sings about the many virtues of his new love, and how people who see them together are taken aback.
Naturally, the audience thinks the public's intolerance towards the couple is because he's dating a gorilla. But the last line of the song is,

"But if they could see her through my eyes,
She wouldn't look Jewish at all!"

An ostensibly funny number that, in the end, highlighted a horrible reality of the times. Brilliant.
