Mommy always likes to see her baby boy paint,

it shows my creativity, my artistic trait,

But mommy doesn't like it when I get paint on my face.

She says that only girls can cover up the yucky space,

but I've got icky purple polka-dots and bumpys on my skin

So why is putting makeup on such an unholy sin?

I just want to be beautiful, like in a magazine.

Mommy, will you still love me or am I too unclean?

I'll try to change, I pinky promise! I don't want you to be sad,

I just don't see how painting my face should make me feel so bad.

Mommy always likes to see her baby boy paint,

but keep it off your cheeks and eyes or mommy may just faint!
