He always liked to paint with his sunglasses on
'Cause acrylics tend to burn on his eyes
And nothing brought him closer to the canvas
Than the warmth of Eleanor's thighs

He never had much of a devious nature
But was hardly a modern day saint
If you asked the little boy what he'd be when he grew up
Said, I'd rather be a fireman than paint

Keep on painting

'Cause the gravel felt good on her toes
And Mr. Merriweather left his wife and his kids
In search of a polka dot rose

They never thought much of his mongrelesque stature
Or the scent that could make a buzzard faint
If you asked the little boy what he'd be when he grew up
He'd say

Keep on painting

He always liked to paint with his sunglasses on
'Cause acrylics tend to burn on his eyes
And nothing brought him closer to the canvas
