Edit By: 216.73.216.218

Intro:
Picture this: rhythm n happiness
Souls in bliss n havin fun
(oh no)
If you cant theres nothin to it
(oh no)
Im thinkin I have t paint you one

Verse:
Im gonna paint a sepia panorama
So full of life the painting will come alive
Bathed in blues n full of drama
An all the swing they needed so theyd survive
Ill add some tans an yellow ocher
Such soul! so full of rhythm
An then some orange t tone up the black a bit
My goal is to be with em
Purple haze t lull the smoker
What swing! what syncopation
An cherry red t loosen the back a bit
That thing captured a nation

An then a mere patina of subtle green
Get down with me - youll dig my study in brown
To lighten up the purple n tone it down
Get down with me - tell about it all over town
A dancing glow to highlight the subtle scene
Get down with me - dig how Im paintin the town
An there youll have a study in brown
My study in brown

Well, git brown!
Oh yeah, brown is the pigment
Well, git down!
Oh yeah, thats what cha really meant
Clown!
Oh yeah, thats some study

Were puttin down a study in brown

Coda: (thats why were callin it, a study in brown!)

Git brown!
Oh yeah, brown is the pigment
N git down!
Oh yeah, thats what cha really meant
Clown!
Oh yeah, thats some study

Dig what I mean! its in the scene

Guitar solo

What cha talkin bout?

Thats my scene rhythm ndancin
(rhythm-a-ning)
You can add real romancin
(yep!)
Ill come clean,
Thats the way I like it
Y start real thin, then put some color in
(rhythm-a-ning)
Fuschia hues blended with subtones
(rhythm-a-ning)
Spread them blues, blarin trombones
(yep!)
Paint that scene
Just the way I like it
A dab or two - thats how to do it.

Piano solo

Guitar solo
Hey dad! mamas gonn git cha soon as you git home!

Piano solo
Thats the ticket
But whered yfin th wicket?
