Song

Painter Man

Boney M.

Nightflight to Venus, 1978, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

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 want to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who want to 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 want to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who want to be a painter man
Did adverts for T.V.
Household shops and brands of tea
Labels all around the cans
Who want to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who want to be a painter man
Painter man, painter man
Who want to be a painter man
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Painter man, painter man
Who want to be a painter man
