All you very lovely ladies in your very fancy frocks
And you fellows with the palettes in your most artistic smocks
Use your thumb to get perspective of a world that's dab and gray
Add a lot of colour, and frame it just that way

You can trace the mystery of ancient history through art of artists and their models
You can comb through the Roman Coliseum in the rear of your nearest museum
There's the Mona Lisa, the Tower of Pisa, a cowhand's daughter out in Texas
And there's modern art to see that makes you wonder what the heck is meant to be

On the streets of Montmarte there's a frenchie kind of art that is strictly for the tourists from the sticks
And those wise Greenwich guys really open up your eyes, painting portraits of their pretty little chicks

So to each creator an imitator who daubs n' dabbles with the brushes
To the guys that draw the bunnies for the sunday morning funnies
And brighten up our world today
And to every girl that poses
And to every grandma moses
We'd like to tip the old beret

Let me warn you stranger that red means danger beware of any gal that wears it
I agree she may be very gracious, but you'll find that she's kind of flirtatious

Oh I'd like to pilot a gal with violet, a shrinking violet is my pleasure

Hear my heart go whoop-de-doo to any baby dressed in periwinkle blue

If a girl's wearing lime you can squeeze her everytime, for a lime is something anyone can squeeze

Any gal wearing green makes the most enchanting queen
She's the kind of queen who always aims to please, ooh

Oh I'm really sold on a gal with gold on, if I could find her what a treasure

To a gal that's wearing yella', I'm a very mellow fella
This shade of blue is just my kind

You will never hear me knockin any pink that's really shocking..
I think we're going colourblind!
