| Song Lyrics: |
If Jesse don't like it, then it's prob'ly not art
Jesse knows what's good; Ol' Jesse is smart
And if you don't like that, don't feel sad
'Cause the art that you like is probably bad
Grandma Moses- she's OK
Never exposes anything; everything's far away
And that statue of David's all right with Jesse
'Cause Michelangelo gave him such a tiny pee-pee
If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay
Get it out of the museum; get it out of there today
Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown
with the daisy in his hand and the tear rollin' down
In the kindergarten years ago, Jesse got rude
He took a red Crayola and he drew a nude
And the teacher took a ruler to Jesse's behind
Yeah, she beat his butt but she ruled his mind
Jesse prob'ly didn't like Picasso
But neither did that dictator Franco
And I know about art but I've got to take a hike
If I like somethin' that Jesse don't like
If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay
Get it out of the museum; get it out of there today
Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown
with the daisy in his hand and the tear rollin' down
Don't photograph a penis and don't paint a breast
Don't write about the truth because it might offend Jesse
And don't tell it like it is and don't show where it's at
'Cause Jesse don't like it and that is that
If Jesse thinks it's dirty, it don't get any funds
They use the taxpayer's money on tobacco and guns
Your freedom of expression..(applause)..is bein' denied
But if you're not sure what you like, then just let Jesse decide
If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay
Get it out of the museum; get it out of there today
Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown
with the daisy in his hand and the tear rollin' down (Stavro Arrgolus) |
