Well, EI love Cubism, C#mit's my favorite style 
When I Asee a Cubist painting I've just Bgot to smile

CeAzanne, Cezanne, Bthe father of CuEbism
[Verse 2]
C#mSome people say that it was EPicasso 
AOther people claim it was DeBChirico 
C#mSome people think it was ModEiglian(i) 
ABut they're all crazy, it was BPaul Cezanne, CeEzanne 
CezAanne, Cezanne, Bthe father of CuEbism
[Verse 3]
When EPaul Cezanne sat down to paint a C#mflower or a face 
He Ahad to solve one problem, three-diBmensional space 
He Esaid, "Form is content." He C#msmoked a Gitanne. 
AHe was right. Now he's BPaul Cezanne, CeEzanne 
CeAzanne, Cezanne, Ble père de CuEbisme 
[Verse 4]

CeAzanne, Cezanne, Bthe miraculous father of CuEbism 
[Verse 6]
EPaul Cezanne is famous now and I C#mthink that's really nice 
'Cause his Amelons look like footballs and his Bapples look like dice
