Flowers are Red by Harry Chapin
The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw. He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw. And the teacher said..
What you doin' young man? "I'm paintin' flowers" he said
She said... It's not the time for art young man. And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything, young man. And a way it should be done. You've got to show concern for everyone else. For you're not the only one
And she said...
Flowers are red young man, Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...There are so many colors in the rainbowSo many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one
Well the teacher said.. You're sassy. There's ways that things should be. And you'll paint flowers the way they are. So repeat after me.....
And she said...
Flowers are red young man, Green leaves are green.
There's no need to see flowers any other way than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...There are so many colors in the rainbow. So many colors in the morning sun. So many colors in the flower and I see every one
The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely. Frightened thoughts filled his head. And he went up to the teacher. And this is what he said..
and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town. And the little boy went to another school. And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin' She said...Painting should be fun. And there are so many colors in a flower. So let's use every one!
But that little boy painted flowers in neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why.
This is what he said.. and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way than the way they always have been seen.
