Dean Martin - Artists and Models Lyrics

All you very lovely ladies in your very fancy frocks
And you fellows with the palettes in your most artistic smocks
Use your thumb to get perspective of a world that's dab and gray
Add a lot of colour, and frame it just that way.

You can trace the mystery of ancient history
Through art of artists and their models
You can comb through the Roman Coliseum
In the rear of your nearest museum
There's the Mona Lisa, the Tower of Pisa
A cowhand's daughter out in Texas
And there's modern art to see
That makes you wonder what the heck is meant to be.

On the streets of Montmarte there's a frenchie kind of art
That is strictly for the tourists from the sticks
And those wise Greenwich guys really open up your eyes
Painting portraits of their pretty little chicks.

So to each creator an imitator who daubs n' dabbles with the brushes
To the guys that draw the bunnies for the sunday morning funnies
And brighten up our world today
And to every girl that poses and to every grandma moses
We'd like to tip the old beret.

Let me warn you stranger that red means danger
Beware of any gal that wears it
I agree she may be very gracious
But you'll find that she's kind of flirtatious.

Oh, I'd like to pilot a gal with violet
A shrinking violet is my pleasure
Hear my heart go whoop-de-doo
To any baby dressed in periwinkle blue.

If a girl's wearing lime you can squeeze her everytime
For a lime is something anyone can squeeze
Any gal wearing green makes the most enchanting queen
She's the kind of queen who always aims to please, ooh.

Oh I'm really sold on a gal with gold on
If I could find her what a treasure
To a gal that's wearing yella', I'm a very mellow fella
This shade of blue is just my kind.

You will never hear me knockin
Any pink that's really shocking
I think we're going colourblind!...
