Lyrics[]
Ethan Ballantyne: Artists are the people who hold up a mirror;
Kurt Hardwick: Artists make society see it's face clearer. (People laugh)
Ethan Ballantyne and Kurt Hardwick: Artists help stamp out oppression and war;
And when we camp outdoors, we make the best s'mores.
Three layers, mother nature;
Mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah.
Artists end poverty with music and dance;
Artists make art on the beaches of France.
Lisa Simpson: I never knew artists were all so amazing;
Ethan Ballantyne: Excuse me while I talk to this cow that's gazing.
I give art, like you give milk.
Ethan Ballantyne and Kurt Hardwick: Everyone listens when artists are talking;
Because artists are smarter than Mr. Stephen Hawking.
Stephen Hawking: Oh, yeah. Break it down for me, fellas.
(break beat)
Stephen Hawking: A brief history of rhyme.
Lisa Simpson: Do you think that I could be an artist in the city?
Kurt Hardwick: Hold on, Lisa, let me check with the committee.
So, what do you guys think?
Stephen Hawking: Yes.
Ethan Ballantyne: I agree.
Ethan Ballantyne and Kurt Harkwick: Yes, Lisa, you can be an artist in the world;
But move to the city when you're less itty-bitty girl.
To the gritty city when you're less itty-bitty girl;
The city's pretty gritty for an itty-bitty pretty girl.
