Well, I love Cubism, it's my favorite style

When I see a Cubist painting I've just got to
smile

But there's one painter, I'm his biggest fan

He's the father of Cubism and his name's Cezanne,
Cezanne

Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

Some people say that it was Picasso

Other people claim it was DeChirico

Some people think it was Modiglian(i)

But they're all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne,
Cezanne

Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a
face

He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional
space

He said, Form is content. He smoked a Gitanne.

He was right. Now he's Paul Cezanne, Cezanne

Cezanne, Cezanne, le pé‘¢e de Cubisme

Well Cezanne's father wanted him to be an avocat

But Paul just looked at him and said, Pfff, mais
non, pa.

I want to be a painter, I know I can!

Now his oeuvre's in the Louvre, he's Paul
Cezanne, Cezanne

Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

Well I had an aunt and she was in a coma

So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to
MoMA

We got through the door, you wouldn't beleive
what began

She sat up and started screaming, Hey, where is
that Paul Cezanne?

Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of Cubism

Paul Cezanne is famous now and I think that's
really nice

'Cause his melons look like footballs and his
apples look like dice

So all you would-be painters, get out your brush
and can

You may be the next Paul Cezanne, Cezanne

Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

Cezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism
