Bob Ross

verse 1
Some people read….
to relax.
Or put on Golf…..
when they nap.
Some listen to music….
that’s playing soft and low.

verse 2
I watch reruns….
of a man,
with a paint brush….
in his hand,
When I need peace….
I turn on the Bob Ross Show.

chorus
He’ll paint a happy little cloud,
And any color is allowed,
His soothing voice
can almost hypnotize.
He’ll mix a clump of green paint
(You’ll think, “a tree”, but, no, it ain’t)
Then on his canvas….
he paints a nice surprise!

verse 4
I love his hair….
full of curl,
I love his strokes…..
as they swirl,
And he mixes in….
some wisdom and advice.

verse 5
He’ll say there are ….
no mistakes,
And that patience….
is what it takes,
When making art…
You don’t have to be precise.

chorus
Then he’ll paint a happy little tree,
And a calm comes over me
His soothing voice
can almost hypnotize.
He’ll mix a clump of blue paint,
(You’ll think, “a river”, but, no, it ain’t)
Then on his canvas….
he paints a nice surprise!

bridge
The Joy of Painting might be,
The very best method to calm me,
That Bob Ross was like some therapy,
in a half hour show.
He gave us 31 great seasons
And a whole more good reasons
to be creative and to give painting a-go.

outro
Give me some happy little trees…..
Paint me a gentle flowing breeze…..
Highlight the mountains in the distance…..
Thank God for Bob Ross’s existence!
Happy happy happy ….
joy joy
mmmmmm
mmmm
mmmmm

no mistakes, only happy accidents!
