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
