Paul Cezanne Lyrics
Tom Meltzer Well, I love Cubism, it's my favorite styleWhen I see a Cubist painting I've just got to smileBut there's one painter, I'm his biggest fanHe's the father of Cubism and his name's Cezanne, CezanneCezanne, Cezanne, the father of CubismSome people say that it was PicassoOther people claim it was DeChiricoSome people think it was Modiglian(i)But they're all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne, CezanneCezanne, Cezanne, the father of CubismWhen Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a faceHe had to solve one problem, three-dimensional spaceHe said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne.He was right. Now he's Paul Cezanne, CezanneCezanne, Cezanne, le père de CubismeWell Cezanne's father wanted him to be an avocatBut 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, CezanneCezanne, Cezanne, the father of CubismWell I had an aunt and she was in a comaSo we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMAWe got through the door, you wouldn't beleive what beganShe sat up and started screaming, "Hey, where is that Paul Cezanne?"Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of CubismPaul Cezanne is famous now and I think that's really nice'Cause his melons look like footballs and his apples look like diceSo all you would-be painters, get out your brush and canYou may be the next Paul Cezanne, CezanneCezanne, Cezanne, the father of CubismCezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism
