Mona Lisa words and music Luke Hurley

lyrics

I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Thru plate glass
Let me see

Winning smile and
Millions feed her
I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Yeah

I Sold my house
I Sold my car
I even sold my Martin guitar
Sold my house
Sold my car
I even sold
My brand new Stratocaster
I was going to get to see
A Leonardo Da Vinci
That’s good enough for you

If its
Good enough for me
Good enough for you
Good enough for me
Good enough for you

I say captain
Say what?
Captain
Say what?

Well I sold my house
And I sold my car
And I sold my Martin guitar
I’m flying high
In a seven four seven
And I’m cruising high feeling like
I’m in a seventh heaven
Air hostess pours a G&T
Feeling right friendly
But you’re not Madonna
And you’re not in the groove
And you’re not Leonardo
And you’re not in the Louvre

I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Thru plate glass they let me see
Winning smile and millions feed her

I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
I’m in love with the Mona Lisa

Oh yeah
Well I got to Paris
Took a taxi to the Louvre
I’m feeling jet lagged
But you know I’m in the groove

And there’s Japanese, Cantonese, Lebanese, Taiwanese, Ceylonese turning into Shrilankees, Czechoslovakanese, Hungarians, Kiwis ... waiting for something to happenese

And there’s God damned Yankees

They’re not singing my song

They’re singing Paul Simon
“Got a Nikon camera gotta take a photograph
Mamma don’t take my Kodachrome away
When I think about the crap I learned at high school Wonder I can think at all”
Thank ya Paul

I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Thru plate glass they let me see
Winning smile and millions feed her

I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
I’m in love with the Mona Mona Lisa
I’m in love with the Leonardo Da Vinci
I’m in love with the Virgin Airlines air hostess who’s nice to me

I’m in love for the very first time
I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Thru plate glass they let me see her
Winning smile and millions feed her
I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
