[00:45.720]And the teacher said, "What you doing young man?"
[00:48.780]"I'm painting flowers" he said
[00:51.098]She said, "It's not the time for art young man
[00:54.499]And anyway flowers are green and red"
[00:57.047]"There's a time for everything young man
[01:00.336]And a way it should be done
[01:02.614]You've got to show concern for everyone else
[01:05.692]For you're not the only one"
[01:07.993]And she said, "Flowers are red young man
[01:11.517]Green leaves are green
[01:14.293]There's no need to see flowers any other way
[01:17.077]Than they way they always have been seen"
[01:20.094]But the little boy said
[01:23.161]"There are so many colors in the rainbow
[01:26.477]So many colors in the morning sun
[01:29.279]So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
[01:43.174]Well the teacher said, "You're sassy

[01:54.382]And she said, "Flowers are red, young man
[01:58.166]Green leaves are green
[02:00.722]There's no need to see flowers any other way
[02:03.364]Than they way they always have been seen"
[02:06.677]But the little boy said again
[02:09.466]"There are so many colors in the rainbow
[02:12.852]So many colors in the morning sun
[02:15.880]So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
[02:33.009]The teacher put him in a corner
[02:35.787]She said, "It's for your own good
[02:38.902]And you won't come out till you get it right
[02:41.748]And are responding like you should"
[02:44.835]Well finally he got lonely
[02:47.483]Frightened thoughts filled his head
[02:50.798]And he went up to the teacher
[02:54.176]And this is what he said
[02:59.205]And he said
[03:00.748]"Flowers are red, and green leaves are green
[03:09.673]There's no need to see flowers any other way
[03:13.955]Than the way they always have been seen"
[03:30.791]Of course time went by like it always does
[03:33.819]And they moved to another town
[03:36.869]And the little boy went to another school
[03:40.205]This is what he found
[03:42.859]The teacher there was smiling
[03:45.632]She said, "Painting should be fun
[03:48.544]And there are so many colors in a flower
[03:51.849]So let's use every one"
[03:55.119]But that little boy painted flowers
[03:58.425]In neat rows of green and red
[04:01.696]And when the teacher asked him why
[04:05.336]This is what he said
[04:10.378]And he said
[04:11.936]"Flowers are red, and green leaves are green
[04:20.224]There's no need to see flowers any other way
[04:24.302]Than the way they always have been seen"
[04:30.436]But he still must be a way have the children said
[04:35.224]"There are so many colors in the rainbow
[04:39.016]So many colors in the morning sun
[04:42.359]So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
