| | | Artist: | Chapin Harry |
| | Album: | Best Of Harry Chapin 3 | | Track: | Flowers Are Red | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 224 | | | | Lyrics: | The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw
He put
colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said.. What you
doin' young man
I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said... It's not the time for art young
man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not
the only one
And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are
green
There's 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.. You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint
flowers the way they are
So repeat after me
And she said...
Flowers are red
young man
Green leaves are green
There's 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.. It's for your own
good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And all 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
There's 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 let's 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
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any
other way
Than the way they always have been seen | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
