Nothing As Original As You

(album: The Originals - 1979)

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
