Flowers Are Red (LP Version) (Live) - Harry Chapin[00:00:01]
Written by:Harry Chapi/Stephen Chapin[00:00:02]
The little boy went first day of school[00:00:36]
He got's crayons and he started to draw[00:00:38]
He put colors all over the paper[00:00:41]
For colors was what he saw[00:00:44]
And the teacher said[00:00:47]
What you doin' young man[00:00:48]
I'm paintin' flowers he said[00:00:50]
She said it's not the time for art young man[00:00:52]
And anyway flowers are green and red[00:00:56]
There's a time for everything young man[00:00:58]
A way it shoot be done[00:01:01]
You've got to show concern for everyone else[00:01:04]
For you're not the only one[00:01:07]
And she said[00:01:09]
Flowers are red young man[00:01:10]
Green leaves are green[00:01:13]
Us road need to see flowers any other way[00:01:16]
Than they way they always have been seen[00:01:18]
But the little boy said[00:01:21]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:01:24]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:01:28]
So many colors in the flower[00:01:31]
And I see every one[00:01:33]
Well the teacher said you're sassy[00:01:44]
There's ways that things should be[00:01:47]
And you'll paint flowers the way they are[00:01:50]
So repeat after me[00:01:54]
And she said[00:01:56]
Flowers are red young man[00:01:57]
Green leaves are green[00:02:00]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:02:02]
Than they way they always have been seen[00:02:05]
But the little boy said again[00:02:08]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:02:11]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:02:14]
So many colors in the flower[00:02:17]
And I see every one's[00:02:20]
Well the teacher put him in a corner[00:02:34]
She said it's for your own good[00:02:37]
And you won't come out[00:02:40]
'Til you get it right[00:02:42]
And are responding like you should[00:02:43]
Well finally he got lonely[00:02:46]
Frightened thoughts[00:02:49]
Filled his head[00:02:50]
And he went up to the teacher[00:02:52]
And this is what he said[00:02:55]
And he said[00:03:00]
Flowers are red[00:03:02]
And green leaves are green[00:03:06]
There's no need to see flowers any other way[00:03:11]
Than the way they always have been seen[00:03:15]
I'll could time went by like it always does[00:03:32]
The moved to another town[00:03:35]
And the little boy went to another school[00:03:38]
This is what he found[00:03:41]
The teacher there was smilin'[00:03:44]
She said[00:03:47]
Painting should be fun[00:03:48]
And there are so many colors in a flower[00:03:50]
So let's use every one[00:03:53]
But that little boy painted flowers[00:03:56]
In neat rows of green and red[00:04:00]
And when the teacher asked him why[00:04:03]
This is what he said[00:04:07]
And he said[00:04:11]
Flowers are red[00:04:13]
And green leaves are green[00:04:17]
There's no need to see[00:04:22]
Flowers any other way[00:04:23]
Than the way they always have been seen[00:04:25]
There are so many colors in the rainbow[00:04:36]
So many colors in the morning sun[00:04:40]
So many colors in the flower[00:04:44]
And I see every one[00:04:47]
