- That old master painter from the faraway hills
- painted the violets and the daff-o-dills
- He put the purple in the twilight haze
- then did a rainbow for the rainy days
- Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies
- painted the devil in my darlin's eyes
- Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
- The old master painter from the faraway hills
-
- Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
- He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
- What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
- That old master painter from the hills far away
-
- (repeat) Dreamed up etc.
