Picasso said in 1910
"I'm gonna paint me a mandolin"
Could be cubes, could be curves
I like to mix the paint with nerve
I'm gonna load my brush and fire away
Paint me a hole in the light of day
You can play it straight or play it from left field
You got to play it just the way you feel
Come on boys and play it again
Play it on Picasso's mandolin
Coloring books and drinking wine
It's hard to stay between the lines
Aint' no rule if you don't break it
Ain't no chance if you don't take it
He said the damnedest thing he ever heard
Was tryin' to learn to sing from a mockingbird
You can play it straight or play it from left field
You got to play it just the way you feel
Come on boys and play it again
Play it on Picasso's mandolin
Take this moment, make your choice
Sing your song with your own voice
A fork in the road is a piece of cake
You got to eat the one you take
Pablo knew just what to do
He saw the world and he'd paint it blue
You can play it straight or play it from left field
You got to play it just the way you feel
Come on boys and play it again
Play it on Picasso's mandolin
Picasso said before he died
There's one more painting I'd like to try
The doctor held his breath
And then Picasso nailed him a mandolin
He was born in Spain and died in France
He was not scared of baggy pants
