They'll Build a Statue of You

They'll build a statue of you

to commend the deeds you've done

Face your figure to the west

to gaze off in the sunThey'll build a statue of you

of your heritage and fame

Pay you all their due respects

like... "Here's to what's his name"They'll build a statue of you

they'll chistel down your nose

Plant some trees around you

they'll wash you with a hose

They'll put you in the finest clothes

your worthiness complete

Now pidgeons can shit in your ears

and dogs piss on your feetThe winter winds will whip your back

the hail will bite your hand

The April rain will strike your face

I hope you understandThey'll build a statue of you

your countenance will shine

Fine ladies and fine gentlemen

will drink you up like wine

I'll bet you think that what you do

will make the angels sing

But baby I am telling you

it doesn't mean a thingThe winter winds will whip your back

the hail will bite your hand

The April rain will strike your face
