This is an old song of mine, but I recently changed the melody a bit and some of the verses.
"CALL ME ART"
[C] I first caught your [C7]attention at the [F]local gallery
[C] But I was only in there because I had to [G]pee.
[C] Concerning all things [C7]cultural, you should [F] know that Im a rube.
Would you [D7] prefer if I were [G7] framed and in the [C] nude?
If so then, hang me on the wall and call me Art.
Stick me in a vase, if you think it very smart.
Give me a pose to pose and Ill gladly play the part
Hang me on the wall and call me Art.
You asked if I liked Bernini. I said I like em hot
Smothered in lots of butter with marmalade on top.
You asked if I liked Watteau. I said that its okay.
They say you should drink 8 glasses every day.
You said you liked Leonardo I thought DeCaprio.
Whats that Michael guys last name, Michael, uh, OH Angelo!
Well, hang me on the wall and call me Art.
Install me in the Louvre if you think it very smart
Drape a fig leaf o'er my utmost private part
Hang me on the wall and call me Art.
I cant tell a Christopher Wren from a Mies van der Rohe.
Or that English guy John Turner from that little guy from Spain (what's his name?) Piccaso!
Well, hang me on the wall and call me Art.
I'll play you some of my Bauhaus CDs but I don't think I have anything by Beaux-Arts
Talk to me for hours 'bout that philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre.
Hang me on the wall and call me Art. (Mr. Arthur if you're nasty!)
Hang me on the wall and call me Art.
(Played on a plastic Carnival uke from the 1950's - with the original strings)
