It was an ordinary day The class was doodling away But then we welcome in this man Who's here to find the next cézanne To my surprise he took one look Across the table at my book He holds it up for all to see And with a smile he says to me You got the talent The like I've never seen before The fact is with practice you'll crack this, j'adore All your talent! So much so, I must see more! What I'd do is guide you, Provide new ideas to explore! From there I'm bouncing down the street I'm telling everyone I meet That they can have my autograph I'm even smiling when they laugh Though they could set up a career, A class a week is pretty dear So I take my parents by the hand To make them truly understand I got the talent See I've been told that I'll go far Rise faster right past the grandmaster renoir So much talent That it's the artist's life pour moi Suggesting investing's the best thing To make me a star I'll be the greatest creator there's ever been because He sees in me something no one has ever seen Something I never believed could be there Something incredible, something that I have to share A talent beyond compare I'm there, day one, so keen to start Anticipation off the chart Then through the door to spoil the bliss Come other children - what is this? Some set up easels, some sketch away For them it's just another day And as they talk I realise The same excitement's in their eyes They've all got talent Oh what a thing to misconstrue! These flecks, streaks and specks speak to techniques brand new So much talent That they're using fifteen shades of blue! If I've got the talent Then they've got it too!
