Peter The Painter Lyrics - Ian Dury

Who's got the toughest brush with the sweetest strokes at the Royal Academy for Jack-the-lademy? 

Mr. Blake is the actual bloke at the Royal College of Useful Knowledge 

He plays his part without complaint at the Royal Society for Insobriety 

Gets his pencils and his paint from the Royal Commission for Intuition 

It's not a fake it's a Peter Blake 

It's navy blue, it's crimson lake 

It takes the cake and no mistake, 

For goodness' sake take a look at those Blakes 

Who's paintings brighten any day, who draws each breath from loving life? 

Who's golden beard and black beret, who's sharper than a palette knife?

Peter Blake is the actual chap at the Royal Enclosure of Cool Composure 

And such nice beauties do impart from the Royal Exchange of Rare and Strange 

The wonders of his noble art at the Royal Tournament of Glad You're Born-ament 

It's not a cheat, it's one of Pete's 

It's Daisy darling, Libby sweet 

To ease you mind and soothe your aches, 

For goodness' sake take a look at those Blakes 

It's Peter the painter 

It's Peter the painter 

It's Peter the painter 

It's Peter the painter 

It's Peter the painter 

It's Peter the painter 

Peter is going to paint a picture - for you
