The Lyrics

The site has been garbling diacritical marks, so below is a test of whether that's still happening. "montees" should have an acute accent over the first "e."
Impressionism's for me.
I sit and savor all Claude's blurred lilies.
Now give me Monet,
That's what I want.
That's what I want, yeah,
That's what I watch.

His landscapes give me such thrills;
I just love his paysage* hills.
Now give me montées,**
That's what I want. . .

Manet, he was a French painter too;
Pre-Impressionists, I pooh-pooh.
Don't give me Manet,
Not what I want,
Not what I want, no,
Not what I watch.

Monets cost huge amounts of loot, fer
Sure; I see 'em at the Lou-vre.
I look at Monets,
That's what I watch. . . .

Well now, give me Monets,
A lot of Monets.
Wow, yeah, I wanna see
A lot of Monets,
That's what I watch
And what I want.
Give me no Manets,
Not any Manets,
Don't wanna see Manets
Not what I watch, no.
Give me Monets. . . .

I like your art theme, John. As Kris Kristofferson might say, "I'd trade all my Pisarros for a single Claude Monet."
