Well, I love Cubism, it's my favorite style
|
When I see a Cubist painting I've just got to smile
|
But there's one painter, I'm his biggest fan
|
He's the father of Cubism and his name's Cezanne, Cezanne
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
|
Some people say that it was Picasso
|
Other people claim it was DeChirico
|
Some people think it was Modiglian(i)
|
But they're all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
|
When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a face
|
He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional space
|
He said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne.
|
He was right. Now he's Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, le père de Cubisme
|
Well Cezanne's father wanted him to be an avocat
|
But Paul just looked at him and said, "Pfff, mais non, pa.
|
I want to be a painter, I know I can!"
|
Now his oeuvre's in the Louvre, he's Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
|
Well I had an aunt and she was in a coma
|
So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMA
|
We got through the door, you wouldn't beleive what began
|
She sat up and started screaming, "Hey, where is that Paul Cezanne?"
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of Cubism
|
Paul Cezanne is famous now and I think that's really nice
|
'Cause his melons look like footballs and his apples look like dice
|
So all you would-be painters, get out your brush and can
|
You may be the next Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
|
Cezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism
