Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Nothing as Original as You

Sitting in a Hotel Room in Washington D.C.

Looking out the window at the miles of History

Somewhere in the skyline is the Capital Dome

And the White House that just a few men have called home

Paintings by the masters... hanging on it's walls

Words of the greatest still ringing in it's halls

Antiques and Heirlooms from another century

Statues and Monuments just waiting there for me

And today I just saw the first airplane that flew

Saw a dinosaur and a Space Module too

Saw Washinton's Monument and marveled at the view

But even here there's nothing as original as you

Saw a play at Ford's Thee-atre and let me tell you this

The Pentagon is something... no one should ever miss

Saw Jefferson's Memorial and I saw Lincoln's too

I don't think there was one thing I missed seeing, except you

And today I just saw the first airplane that flew

Touched a moon rock and saw a Senator at the zoo

Got lost seven times on Pennsylvania Avenue

But even here's nothing as original as you

Even here's nothing as original as you
