Jesse Don't Like It
Loudon Wainwright III
#From: jh@cadre.com (Joe Hartley)
If
A
Jesse don't like it then it's
D
prob'ly not art
Jesse
A
knows what's good Ol'
E
Jesse is smart
And if
A
you don't like that
D
don't feel sad
'cause the
A
art that you like is
E
probably
A
bad
A
Grandma Moses,
D
she's OK
Never
A
exposes anything; every
E
thing's far away
And the
A
statue of David's all
D
right with Jes-se
'Cause Michel
A
angelo gave him such a
E
tiny pee-
A
pee
Chorus
If
D
Jesse don't like it,
A
it don't stay;
get it
D
out of the museum, get it
A
out of there to-
E
day
A
Jesse's fav'rite painting is the
D
one of the clown
with the
A
daisy in his hand and a
E
tear rollin'
A
down
In the
A
kindergarten years ago,
D
Jesse got rude
He took a
A
red Crayola and he
E
drew a nude
And the
A
teacher took a ruler to
D
Jesse's be-hind
She-
A
ee beat his butt but she
E
ruin'd his
A
mind
A
Jesse prob'ly didn't like
D
Pi-cas-so
But
A
neither did the dicta
E
tor Fran-co
And I
A
know about art but I've
D
got to take a hike
If
A
I like somethin' that
E
Jesse don't
A
like
Chorus
#Instrumental break over verse chords
If
A
Jesse thinks it's dirty it don't
D
get any funds
They use the
A
taxpayer's money on to
E
bacco and guns
Your
A
freedom of expression is
D
bein' denied;
But if you're
A
not sure what you like then just let
E
Jesse de
A
cide
A
Don't photograph a penis;
D
don't paint a breast
A
Don't write about the truth because it
E
might offend Jesse
And don't
A
tell it like it is, and don't
D
show where it's at
'Cause
A
Jesse don't like it and
E
that is
A
that.
Chorus
