Picasso's Mandolin

Intro: Now Picasso said in 1910, I'm gonna paint me a mandolin It could be cubes it could be curves I like to mix paint with nerve I load my brush and fire away Paint me a hole in the light of day Well you can play it straight or play it from left field You got to play it just the way you feel Come on boys, play it again Play it on Picasso's mandolin Well it's colouring books and drinking wine It's hard to stay between the lines There ain't no rule if you don't break it There ain't no chance if you don't take it The damdest thing he'd ever heard Was trying to learn a thing from a Mockingbird Well you can play it straight or play it from left field You got to play it just the way you feel Come on boys, play it again Play it on Picasso's mandolin Now Picasso said before he died There's one more painting I'd like to try Well the doctor held is breathe and then Picasso nailed a mandolin He was born in Spain and died in France He was not scared of baggy pants Well you can play it straight or play it from left field You got to play it just the way you feel Come on boys, play it again Play it on Picasso's mandolin Play it straight or play it from left field You got to play it just the way you feel Come on boys, play it again Play it on Picasso's mandolin
