Flowers Are Red - Harry Chapin[00:00:02]
Little boy on the first day of school[00:00:35]
Got some crayons and started to draw[00:00:37]
He drew colors all over the paper[00:00:40]
For colors was what he saw[00:00:43]
And the teacher said "What you doin' young man "[00:00:46]
"I'm paintin' flowers" he said[00:00:49]
"It's not the time for art young man[00:00:52]
And anyway flowers are green and red [00:00:54]
There's a time for everything young man[00:00:57]
And a way it should be done[00:01:00]
You've got to show concern for everyone else[00:01:03]
For you're not the only one[00:01:06]
And she said [00:01:08]
Flowers are red young man and[00:01:09]
Green leaves are green[00:01:12]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:01:14]
Than they way they always have been seen[00:01:17]
But the little boy said [00:01:20]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:01:23]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:01:26]
So many colors in a flower and I see every one[00:01:29]
There's ways that things should be[00:01:46]
And you'll paint flowers the way they are[00:01:49]
So repeat after me [00:01:52]
And she said [00:01:55]
Flowers are red young man and[00:01:55]
Green leaves are green[00:01:58]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:02:01]
Than they way they always have been seen[00:02:04]
But the little boy said again [00:02:07]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:02:10]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:02:13]
So many colors in a flower and I see every one[00:02:16]
The teacher put him in a corner[00:02:33]
She said It's for your own good [00:02:36]
And you won't come out 'til you get it right[00:02:39]
And are responding like you should[00:02:41]
Well finally he got lonely[00:02:45]
Frightened thoughts filled his head[00:02:48]
And that little boy went up to the teacher[00:02:51]
And this is what he said and he said[00:02:54]
Flowers are red green leaves are green[00:03:01]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:03:10]
Than the way they always have been seen[00:03:14]
Time went by like it always does[00:03:31]
And they moved to another town[00:03:34]
And the little boy went to another school[00:03:37]
And this is what he found[00:03:40]
The teacher there was smilin'[00:03:43]
She said Painting should be fun[00:03:46]
And there are so many colors in a flower[00:03:49]
So let's use every one[00:03:52]
But that little boy painted flowers[00:03:55]
In neat rows of green and red[00:03:59]
And when the teacher asked him why[00:04:02]
This is what he said and he said[00:04:05]
Flowers are red and green leaves are green[00:04:12]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:04:20]
Than the way they always have been seen [00:04:24]
But there still must be a way to have our children say[00:04:31]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:04:35]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:04:39]
So many colors in a flower and I see every one[00:04:42]
