[00:02:14] The teacher put him in a corner

[00:02:17] She said it's for your own good

[00:02:20] And you won't come out

[00:02:21] Till you get it right

[00:02:23] And are responding like you should

[00:02:26] Well finally he got lonely

[00:02:29] Frightened thoughts filled his head

[00:02:32] And he went up to the teacher

[00:02:35] And this is what he said

[00:02:39] And he said

[00:02:40] Flowers are red

[00:02:44] And green leaves are green

[00:02:50] Any other way

[00:02:51] Than the way they always

[00:02:54] Have been seen

[00:03:10] Time went by like it always does

[00:03:12] And they moved to another town

[00:03:15] And the little boy went to

[00:03:17] Another school

[00:03:19] And this is what he found

[00:03:21] The teacher there was smiling

[00:03:24] She said

[00:03:25] Painting should be fun

[00:03:27] And there are so many colors

[00:03:29] In a flower

[00:03:30] So let's use every one

[00:03:34] But that little boy painted flowers

[00:03:37] In neat rows of green and red

[00:03:40] And when the teacher asked him why

[00:03:43] This is what he said

[00:03:47] And he said

[00:03:49] Flowers are red

[00:03:53] And green leaves are green

[00:03:57] There's no need to see flowers

[00:03:59] Any other way

[00:04:01] Than the way they always

[00:04:04] Have been seen
