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
