Lyrics:

From the start, my knowledge, I wanted to expand
Felt deep seated motivations
Although accounting paved the way as a rigorous undergrad
Humanities caputured my infatuations
Art gets me high
When I catch the dark blues
That’s why I’m singing this song
Furiously scribble, ‘til my pencils fume
Art and music hold my affection

Give art a whirl
It keeps glowing
Ride joy like a Rococo swingset
Watch paint, as it swirls
Context and subtext
Thankful to Johnston, Smoothe, and my bro, Mr. Martinek
Baroque’s big and bold
Surrealism’s odd but sly
Thankful to Art Of Film
Malloy deserves the spotlight
Give writing a twirl
It keeps shining
Leaves me delighted

On planet art, there’s Monet and Manet
Plus, remember Whistler’s Nocturnes & Mother
Picasso’s Cubism attracts extreme amounts of fame
Renoir and Dalí reign in wonder
van Gogh’s Starry, Starry Night
Is forever my muse
Adore The Son of Man by René Magritte
His Clairvoyance from watching bird eggs
Leaves viewers bemused
Sending hearts to Napoleoni and his family

Give art a whirl
It keeps sparkling
Ride joy like a Rococo swingset
Watch paint, as it swirls
Context and subtext
Thankful to Johnston, Smoothe, and my bro, Mr. Martinek
Baroque’s big and bold
Surrealism’s odd but sly
Thankful to Art Of Film
Malloy deserves the spotlight
Give writing a twirl
It keeps shining
Leaves me delighted

Gel pens, canvas, plus crayons by Crayola
Smooth tipped, brush heads
Designed delicately for makeup
Impressionist, then rewind time
Hellenistic Greek sculpture approach
Gung-ho for Medieval
Halo’s golden
Rewind the film
Enjoy the descent…

Give art a whirl
It keeps glowing
Ride joy like a Rococo swingset
Watch paint, as it swirls
Context and subtext
Thankful to Johnston, Smoothe, and my bro, Mr. Martinek
Baroque’s big and bold
Surrealism’s odd but sly
Thankful to Art Of Film
Malloy deserves the spotlight
Give writing a twirl
It keeps shining
Leaves me delighted
