Intro verse 1 I want to lay my brushes down And put my pallet away Take off my smock And take off my beret I want to call it a day verse 2 For the sun’s gone down It’s time to light a candle Eight hours straight Is just what I can handle After that it doesn’t pay verse 3 So, serve up the cheese With the crackers and the wine I want to rid my mouth Of the taste of turpentine verse 4 I want to get a little drunk Fatten up my head Find me a good book And take that book to bed And read until the break of day Instrumental (2x) Bridge Painting ain’t the only thing I like to do N.C. I like to dance N.C. Even like to sing Don’t you? Don’t you? Verse 5 So, come up to my attic If you’re happening by And when my work’s all done I will show you why Verse 6 First, we’ll drink to your health Then we’ll drink to mine Who knows what'll happen When we finish off that wine That’s all I gotta say Maybe we’ll make a little hay Outro (2x)
