Flowers Are Red (Edited Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
The little boy went first day of school[00:00:12]
He got some crayons[00:00:14]
And he started to draw[00:00:15]
He put colors all over the paper[00:00:17]
For colors was what he saw[00:00:20]
And the teacher said[00:00:23]
What you doing young man[00:00:25]
I'm painting flowers he said[00:00:27]
She said[00:00:29]
It's not the time[00:00:30]
For art young man[00:00:31]
And anyway flowers are green and red[00:00:32]
There's a time[00:00:35]
For everything young man[00:00:36]
And a way it should be done[00:00:38]
You've got to show concern[00:00:41]
For everyone else[00:00:43]
For you're not the only one[00:00:44]
And she said[00:00:47]
Flowers are red young man[00:00:48]
And green leaves are green[00:00:51]
There's no need to see[00:00:53]
Flowers any other way[00:00:55]
Than they way they always[00:00:56]
Have been seen[00:00:58]
But the little boy said[00:00:59]
There are so many colors[00:01:02]
In the rainbow[00:01:04]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:01:05]
So many colors in the flower[00:01:09]
And I see every one[00:01:11]
Well the teacher said[00:01:24]
You're sassy[00:01:25]
There's ways that things should be[00:01:26]
And you'll paint flowers[00:01:29]
The way they are[00:01:31]
So repeat after me[00:01:32]
And she said[00:01:35]
Flowers are red young man[00:01:36]
And green leaves are green[00:01:38]
There's no need to see flowers[00:01:41]
Any other way[00:01:43]
Than they way they always[00:01:44]
Have been seen[00:01:46]
But the little boy said[00:01:47]
There are so many colors[00:01:50]
In the rainbow[00:01:52]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:01:53]
So many colors in the flower[00:01:56]
And I see every one[00:01:59]
The teacher put him in a corner[00:02:14]
She said it's for your own good[00:02:17]
And you won't come out[00:02:20]
Till you get it right[00:02:21]
And are responding like you should[00:02:23]
Well finally he got lonely[00:02:26]
Frightened thoughts filled his head[00:02:29]
And he went up to the teacher[00:02:32]
And this is what he said[00:02:35]
And he said[00:02:39]
Flowers are red[00:02:40]
And green leaves are green[00:02:44]
There's no need to see flowers[00:02:48]
Any other way[00:02:50]
Than the way they always[00:02:51]
Have been seen[00:02:54]
Time went by like it always does[00:03:10]
And they moved to another town[00:03:12]
And the little boy went to[00:03:15]
Another school[00:03:17]
And this is what he found[00:03:19]
The teacher there was smiling[00:03:21]
She said[00:03:24]
Painting should be fun[00:03:25]
And there are so many colors[00:03:27]
In a flower[00:03:29]
So let's use every one[00:03:30]
But that little boy painted flowers[00:03:34]
In neat rows of green and red[00:03:37]
And when the teacher asked him why[00:03:40]
This is what he said[00:03:43]
And he said[00:03:47]
Flowers are red[00:03:49]
And green leaves are green[00:03:53]
There's no need to see flowers[00:03:57]
Any other way[00:03:59]
Than the way they always[00:04:01]
Have been seen[00:04:04]
