Went to college, studied artFui a la universidad, estudió arte

To be an artist. Make a startSer artista. Empezar

Studied hard, gained my degreeEstudié duro, me gradué

But no one seemed to notice mePero nadie parecía notarme

Painter manPintor hombre

Painter manPintor hombre

Who would be a painter man¿Quién sería un pintor?

Painter manPintor hombre

Painter manPintor hombre

Who would be a painter man¿Quién sería un pintor?

Tried cartoons and comic booksDibujos animados probados y cómics

Dirty postcards, woman's booksPostales sucias, libros de mujeres

Here was where the money layAquí estaba el dinero

Classic art has had its dayEl arte clásico ha tenido su día

Painter manPintor hombre

Painter man...Pintor hombre

Do adverts for tvHacer anuncios para tv

Household soap and brands of teaJabón doméstico y marcas de té

Labels all around the cansEtiquetas alrededor de las latas

Who would be a painter man¿Quién sería un pintor?

Painter manPintor hombre

Painter man...Pintor hombre

La la la, la la laLa de la, la de la

La la la la la laLa de la de la

Painter manPintor hombre

Who would be a painter man¿Quién sería un pintor?
