The little boy went first day of school

He got some crayons

And he started to draw

He put colors all over the paper

For colors was what he saw

And the teacher said

What you doing young man

I'm painting 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

And 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

And 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

Till 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

And 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 smiling

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

And green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers

Any other way

Than the way they always

Have been seen

So many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower

And I see every one
