Picasso's Mandolin |
| Picasso said in 1910 |
| I’m gonna paint me a mandolin |
| Could be cubes it could be curves |
| I like to mix the paint with nerve |
| I’m gonna load my brush and fire away |
| Paint me a hole in the light of day |
| You can play it straight or play it from left field |
| You got to play it just the way you feel |
| Come on boys and play it again |
| Play it on Picasso’s mandolin |
| Well it’s colorin’books and drinkin’wine |
| It’s hard to stay between the lines |
| Ain’t no rule if you don’t break it Ain’t no chance if you don’t take it He said the damndest thing he ever heard |
| Was tryin’to learn to sing from a mockingbird |
| Picasso said before he died |
| There’s one more paintin’I’d like to try |
| The doctor held his breath and then |
| Picasso nailed a mandolin |
| He’s born in Spain and died in France |
| He was not scared of baggy pants |
