What you doin young man Im paintin flowers he said She said... Its not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red Theres a time for everything young man And a way it should be done Youve got to show concern for everyone else For youre not the only one And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green Theres no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one Well the teacher said.. Youre sassy Theres ways that things should be And youll paint flowers the way they are So repeat after me..... And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green Theres no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one The teacher put him in a corner She said.. Its for your own good.. And you wont come out til you get it right And are responding like you should Well finally he got lonely Frightened thoughts filled his head And he went up to the teacher And this is what he said.. and he said Flowers are red, green leaves are green Theres no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen Time went by like it always does And they moved to another town And the little boy went to another school And this is what he found The teacher there was smilin She said...Painting should be fun And there are so many colors in a flower So lets use every one But that little boy painted flowers In neat rows of green and red And when the teacher asked him why This is what he said.. and he said https://youtube/watch?v=4cVpkzZpDBA Flowers are red, green leaves are green Theres no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen.
