5 Chinese Brothers Paul Cezanne Lyrics

Paul Cezanne Lyrics

Tom Meltzer 

Well, I love Cubism, it`s my favorite style
When I see a Cubist painting I`ve just got to smile
But there`s one painter, I`m his biggest fan
He`s the father of Cubism and his name`s Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

Some people say that it was Picasso
Other people claim it was DeChirico
Some people think it was Modiglian(i)
But they`re all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a face
He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional space
He said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne.
He was right. Now he`s Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, le père de Cubisme
Well Cezanne`s father wanted him to be an avocat
But 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, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
Well I had an aunt and she was in a coma
So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMA
We got through the door, you wouldn`t beleive what began
She sat up and started screaming, "Hey, where is that Paul Cezanne?"
Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of Cubism
Paul Cezanne is famous now and I think that`s really nice
`Cause his melons look like footballs and his apples look like dice
So all you would-be painters, get out your brush and can
You may be the next Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
Cezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism
