Went to college, studied arts,
To be an artist make a start,
Studied hard, gettin' my degree,
But no one seemed to notice me,,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,,
Tried cartoons and comic books,
Dirty postcards could have done,
Here was where the money laid,
Classic art has had it's day,,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,,
Did adverts for t.v.,
Household shops and brands of tea,
Labels all around the cans,
Who wanna be a painter man,,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man,,
La...la...la...la...la...la...,
La...la...la...la...la...la...la...,
Painter man, painter man,
Who wanna be a painter man
