Children and Art

Lyrics

[MARIE] You would have liked him Mama, you would Mama, he makes things Mama, they're good Oh, just as you said from the start Children and art... Children and art... You should have seen it Oh, it was a sight Mama, I mean it— All color and light! He should be happy Mama, he's blue What do I do? I don't understand what it was But, Mama, the things that he does—! They twinkle and glitter and buzz Well, isn't she beautiful? There she is, there she is Oh, Mama is everywhere He must have loved her so... Well, this is our family, this is the lot After I go, this is all that you'vе got Mama was funny Mama was fun Mama spent money When shе had none You would have liked her Well, Mama did things No one had done I know, honey, you don't agree But this is our family tree Just wait for a while, and you'll see— Oh, listen to me... Mama was smart... Children and art... Children and art... Children and art...
