Painterman Lyrics by The Creation

We Are Paintermen

1966

[Verse 1]
Went to college, studied art
To be an artist, make a start
Studied hard, gained my degree
But no one seemed to notice me

[Chorus]
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?

[Verse 2]
Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards, women's books
Here was where the money lay
Classic art has had its day

[Chorus]
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?

[Verse 3]
Do adverts for TV
Household soap and brands of tea
Labels all around tin cans
Who would be a painter man?

[Chorus]
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?

[Outro]
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man?
