The Lyrics
This is too surreal even for me
Sometimes a seal is not too
Colourful, he's not too
Wonderful
The good news is there is help at hand
To make him bright
With some nice highlights
Decorating's cool
And I learnt to paint animals at school
Wallpapered a gnu (I did)
Did the whole damn zoo
A painted dove or starling
Is really more aesthetic, darling
Do you want to see my tartan goat?
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Here's a bear with green and
Purple hair, I'd like to
Do a sloth
I like spots or stripes or maybe both
My rabbit's blue
I've got an orange badger too
Elephants are always grey
But I'm sorry, I don't think that way
Ferrets are much better (they are)
Upholstered in leather
A painted dove or chicken
Is the one that I'd be pickin'
Is that cow available in beige?
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Don't touch my bees
You see they're drying in the breeze
My giraffe's had a complete respray
Now they're coming to take me away
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Pink and yellow painted dove
Pink and yellow painted dove
Painted dove!! (rpt)
(Manic laughter, barnyard noises and the sound of sirens to fade..)
Colourful, he's not too
Wonderful
The good news is there is help at hand
To make him bright
With some nice highlights
Decorating's cool
And I learnt to paint animals at school
Wallpapered a gnu (I did)
Did the whole damn zoo
A painted dove or starling
Is really more aesthetic, darling
Do you want to see my tartan goat?
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Here's a bear with green and
Purple hair, I'd like to
Do a sloth
I like spots or stripes or maybe both
My rabbit's blue
I've got an orange badger too
Elephants are always grey
But I'm sorry, I don't think that way
Ferrets are much better (they are)
Upholstered in leather
A painted dove or chicken
Is the one that I'd be pickin'
Is that cow available in beige?
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Don't touch my bees
You see they're drying in the breeze
My giraffe's had a complete respray
Now they're coming to take me away
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Painted dove (oh-oh)
Pink and yellow painted dove
Pink and yellow painted dove
Painted dove!! (rpt)
(Manic laughter, barnyard noises and the sound of sirens to fade..)

This was bizarre man. This was out there. BTW, we like a lot of the same original songs...this is one of my favorites from the 80s.
Pacing was a little off, but it was very funny....
You have two giraffes, and everyone is required to take accordion lessons? 5'd.
Where by 5'd, I actually meant 4/5/5. Oops...
I thought I was going to wet pants.
Don't agree with the pacing comments: this one sings through pretty well (if you really want to confuse the hell out of the person sitting next to you in the library). Wonderfully surreal :-)
