Painter Man

Went to college, studied art

To be an artist, make a start

Studied hard, gained my degree

But no one seemed to notice me

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

Tried cartoons and comic books

Dirty postcards, woman's books

Here was where the money lay

Classic art has had its day

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

Do adverts for TV

Household soap and brands of tea

Labels all around tin cans

Who would be a painter man?

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?

La la la, la la la

La la la, la la la la

Painter man, painter man

Who would be a painter man?
