G5               D5           C5       G5 
You're my picture by Picasso 
             D5         C5          G5 
Lighting up our scullerys 
                D5                  C5           G5 
With your pans and pots and hot-plates 
A5                            D5    
You'd brighten up any gallery.  


G5           D5         C5         G5         
I could paint a different picture  
           D5            C5            G5 
Leafy lanes and flower scenes 
           D5              C5            G5 
But amid your cooking mixture 
A5                                                     D5 
You still have ingredients that make you shine 
A5                                                                D5 
And when you take your apron off I know you're mine. 

You're my photogenic model 
From the glossy magazine 
In among your kitchen structure 
Soapy water, washing machine. 

I could take a different picture 
Rolling hills and flowing gowns 
But amid the foaming texture 
Dirty linen isn't all that starts to shine 
In rubber gloves and faded jeans you still look fine. 

INSTRUMENTAL 

I could paint a different picture 
Leafy lanes and flower scenes 
But amid your cooking mixture 
You still have ingredients that make you shine 
And when you take your apron off I know you're mine. 

You're my picture by Picasso 
Lighting up our scullery 
With your pans and pots and hot-plates 
You'd brighten up any gallery.
