Miss Liberty
Berlin Irving
Miss Liberty (1949)
Miss Liberty
Liberty, Miss Liberty
We welcome you here to our shores
Liberty, Miss Liberty
The key to the city is yours
Liberty, Miss Liberty
You're not just the symbol of a statue that we love
But the most beautiful girl in the world
Would you like to dine some evening at the Astors?
-I'd love to
Would you like to play a week at Tony Pastor's?
-I'd love to
Would you like to come to Trinity on Sunday?
-I'd love to
Would you like to launch a battleship on Monday?
-I'd love to
Here's some orchids fresh with dew from the President to you
Here's some winter flannels from the nation's mothers
Here's some tickets for our ball
You'll be welcome at the hall
Here's some cough drops from the famous bearded brothers
I represent Pratt's Astral Oil
The finest application for a pimple or a boil
We'll pay you handsomely for very little toil
Your picture with a bottle of Pratt's Astral Oil
I thank you, I thank you, I'm grateful to be sure
Like money in the bank, you have made me feel secure
Your Congress, your Senate, your President, so dear
But mostly Mister Bennett, the man who brought me here
