Lyrics for Statue Of Liberty

The first time I saw you standing in the water You must have been all of a thousand feet tall Nearly naked, unashamed like Herod's daughter Your love was so big it made New York look small You've been the subject of so many dreams Since I climbed your torso Oh, my statue of liberty, boo-boo Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, boo-boo I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt A billion lovers with their cameras stop to look And in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt You've been the subject of so many dreams Since I climbed your torso Oh, my statue of liberty, boo-boo Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, boo-boo Say Pop me Oh, my statue of liberty, boo-boo Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, boo-boo Say, oh, my statue of liberty, boo-boo Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, boo-boo Liberty Liberty Liberty
