1.
Went to college, studied arts
To be an artist make a start
Studied hard, gettin' my degree
But no one seemed to notice me
Rf.:
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
2.
Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards could have done
Here was where the money laid
Classic art has had it's day
Rf.:
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
3.
Did adverts for T.V.
Household shops and brands of tea,
Labels all around the cans...
Who wanna be a painter man?..
Rf.:
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who wanna be a painter man?
