The Painter
I'd like you to meet my last queen Over there large as life She's been hanging there for almost a week My poor late wife
What do think of the color of her skin It has the bloom of the rose You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in And for that picture in her bedroom she would pose
Well, after a while he was driving me mad As you could well understand Sitting in there, day after day With my wife in the palm of his hand, it was
Madam, please do this and Madam, please do that You've never heard such display But he didn't mind he was taking his time It was me that had to pay
Oh, Madam, I think we should take a walk in the woods You understand it's the light And did I mind? No, I was so kind when they Came back in the middle of the night And I swear, I'll take care of the painter, oh, the painter
Well, as you can see it was hard for me Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But something has to be done She only has eyes for him and his lies And as for me, not a glance, not a single one
My orders were severe and she disappeared It really was such a shame And when they told me she was dead I broke down and said, 'It's that painter It's him, he's to blame'
With his, 'Madam, please do this and Madam, please do that' You've never heard such display But he didn't mind he was taking his time It was me that had to pay
Oh, Madam, I think we should take a walk in the woods You understand it's the light And did I mind? No, I was so kind when they Came back in the middle of the night And I swear I'll take care of the painter, oh, the painter
And I hope it's the rope for the painter When he's found it's hellbound for the painter I'll get that painter
