Ladies there is just one inspiration
When I'm starting on a new creation,
Ev'rything I do proves that it is true,
On the stand I demand
nothing more or less than you.
Oh! would you paint me?
Come around and see....

Artists paint most anything
but I'll paint nothing but you
Michael Angelo knew
What a fellow could do with beauty
inspiration comes to me
with each affair of the heart
and the more I see girls
the more I love art.

Artists paint most anything
but I'll paint nothing but you
Michael Angelo knew
What a fellow could do with beauty
inspiration comes to me
with each affair of the heart
and the more I see girls
the more I love art.

When my soul is stirred by maiden's blushes
Then it seems there's magic in my brushes,
Rembrandt never knew
Rubens couldn't do
more than I
when I try painting such a group as you.
Then you would need our aid
I need ev'ry aid.

Artists paint most anything
but I'll paint nothing but you
Michael Angelo knew
What a fellow could do with beauty
inspiration comes to me
with each affair of the heart
and the more I see girls
the more I love art.

Artists paint most anything
but I'll paint nothing but you
Michael Angelo knew
What a fellow could do with beauty
inspiration comes to me
with each affair of the heart
and the more I see girls
the more I love art.
