Loudon Wainwright Iii - Jesse Don't Like It lyrics

If Jesse don't like it then it's prob'ly not art Jesse knows what's good Ol' Jesse is smart And if you don't like that don't feel sad 'Cause the art that you like is probably bad Grandma Moses, she's OK Never exposes anything; everything's far away And that statue of David's all right with Jesse 'Cause Michelangelo gave him such a tiny pee-pee If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay get it out of the museum, get it out of there today Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown with the daisy in his hand and a tear rollin' down In the kindergarten years ago, Jesse got rude He took a red Crayola and he drew a nude And the teacher took a ruler to Jesse's behind She beat his b**h but she ruin'd his mind Jesse prob'ly didn't like Pica**o But neither did that dictator Franco And I know about art but I've got to take a hike If I like somethin' that Jesse don't like If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay get it out of the museum, get it out of there today Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown with the daisy in his hand and a tear rollin' down If Jesse thinks it's dirty it don't get any funds They use that taxpayer's money on tobacco and guns Your freedom of expression is bein' denied; But if you're not sure what you like then just let Jesse decide Don't photograph a penis; don't paint a breast Don't write about the truth because it might offend Jesse And don't tell it like it is, and don't show where it's at 'Cause Jesse don't like it and that is that. If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay get it out of the museum, get it out of there today Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown with the daisy in his hand and a tear rollin' down
