Painter Man
Eddie Phillips, Kenny Pickett
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 I 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 soaps and brands of tea
Labels all around the 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
