Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Went to college, studied art
To be an artist, make a start
Studied hard, gained my degree
But no one seemed to notice me
[Verse 2]
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
[Verse 3]
Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards, woman's books
Here was where the money lay
Classic art has had its day
[Verse 4]
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
[Verse 5]
Do adverts on TV
Household soap and brands of tea
Labels all around the cans
Who would be a painter man?
[Verse 6]
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
[Verse 7]
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
