G               D           C       G 
You're my picture by Picasso 
             D         C          G 
Lighting up our scullerys 
                D                  C           G 
With your pans and pots and hot-plates 
Am                            D    
You'd brighten up any gallery.  


G           D         C         G         
I could paint a different picture  
           D            C            G 
Leafy lanes and flower scenes 
           D              C            G 
But amid your cooking mixture 
Am                                                     D 
You still have ingredients that make you shine 
Am                                                                D 
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.
