about

Montmartre, Paris, 1900: the great artistic cauldron where artists and bohemians of all ages and nationalities converged. They were all there: Picasso, Matisse, Gertrude Stein and, of course, your musical guides, Emperor Penguin.

lyrics

The men of fashion gather in the bars
Drinking absinthe with the avant garde
Red of cheek and black of hair
Waving their revolvers in the air
Hello Picasso, Hello Picasso, Hello, Hello

I saw you in the windmills of Montmartre
Making others suffer for your art
Love affairs and suicides
Everything bohemia provides
Hello Picasso, Hello Picasso,
Hello, hello

G-G-G-Gauguin left the city for Tahiti now
He’s smoochin’ with a South Pacific sweetie, now
Where love is free
Love, love, love,

And it's green, greener than your eyes
And it's sweet, much to my surprise
Alcohol will numb the pain
While the wormwood rots your brain
And it's sweet
And it's green

When I see you
When I see you passing by
Hanging out with Gertrude Stein, I cry
Hello Picasso
Ca va Degas
Monet, Manet
Bonsoir Renoir, au revoir!
