Verse 1
G 
One, two, three, if Jesse don't like it,
C 
it's probably not art.
G 
Jesse knows what's good,
D 
oh Jesse, you're smart.
G 
And if you don't like that,
C 
don't feel sad.
G 
D 
Cause the art that you like is probably bad.
G 
C 
Grandma Moses, she's okay
G 
Never exposes anything
D 
Everything's far away
G 
And that statue of David's
C 
All right with Jesse
G 
Called Michelangelo
D 
G 
Gave him such a tiny pee -pee
C 
G 
Jesse don't like it
C 
Get it out of the museum,
G 
D 
get it out of there today
G 
Jesse's favorite painting
C 
is the one of the clown
G 
With a daisy in his hand
D 
G 
and a tear rolling down
In the kindergarten years ago,
C 
Jesse got rude
G 
He took a red Crayola
D 
and he drew a new
G 
The teacher took a ruler
C 
to Jesse's behind
G 
Yeah, she beat his butt,
D 
but she ruled his mind
G 
Now Jesse probably didn't like Picasso
C 
G 
D 
But neither did that dictator Franco
G 
I don't know about art,
C 
but I got to take a hike
G 
Yes, if I'd like something
D 
that Jesse don't like
G 
C 
G 
Jesse don't like it, it don't stay
C 
Get it out of the museum,
G 
D 
get it out of there today
G 
Jesse's favorite painting
C 
is the one of the clown
G 
With a daisy in his hand
D 
G 
and a tear rolling down
Don't photograph a penis,
C 
don't paint a breast
G 
Don't write about the truth,
D 
because it might offend Jesse
G 
Don't tell it like it is,
C 
don't show where it's at
G 
D 
G 
Cause Jesse don't like it, that is that
If Jesse thinks it's dirty,
C 
they don't get any funds
G 
They use that taxpayer's money
D 
on tobacco and guns
G 
And your freedom of expression
C 
is being denied
G 
But if you're not sure what you'll like
D 
Then just let Jesse decide
G 
C 
G 
Jesse don't like it, it don't stay
C 
Get it out of the museum,
G 
D 
get it out of there today
G 
Jesse's favorite painting
C 
is the one of the clown
G 
With a daisy in his hand
D 
and the tears rollin'
