Painter Man

Went to college, studied arts
To become an artist, made a start
Studied hard, getting my degree
But no one seemed to notice me

Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man

Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards could have sufficed
Here's where the money was
Classic art has had its day

Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man

Did ads for TV
Household shops and brands of tea
Labels all around the cans
Who wants to be a painter man

Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man

La...la...la...la...la...la...
La...la...la...la...la...la...la...
Painter man, painter man
Who wants to be a painter man
