Busking, St Ives w 3 String Cigar Box Guitar - Magic Paints, with dancing children(I turn the camera round to the dancing children about a minute in)This is a song I wrote for my Grandson when he was a toddler. Thought I’d play it for these children who had been dancing to the previous song. They danced to three or four songs, which gave their Mum’s chance to sit down and chat for a bit… (They hadn’t met before)LYRICS:Magic PaintsI have got some magic paints,everything I paint with them comes true.I’m mixing up some red and yellowand lots and lots of blue.Yeah I will paint a perfect day for you.I’ll paint all of your favourite thingsand lots you’re never seen.Some of them will be so strangeyou’ll think you’re in a dream.I’ll paint some cows in sky blue pink,some pigs fluorescent green,a spotty cat with sixteen legseating an ice cream.Yeah I have got some magic paints,everything I paint with them comes true.I’m mixing up some red and yellowand lots and lots of blue.Yeah I will paint a perfect day for you.I’ll paint a rocket that will take usright up to the moon.There we’ll eat some floating peaswith a giant spoon.I’ll paint us up some aliens,we’ll take them home with us.We will get some funny lookswhen we get on the bus!Yeah I have got some magic paints,everything I paint with them comes true.I’m mixing up some red and yellowand lots and lots of blue.Yeah I will paint a perfect day for you.When I’m old and getting bored,need something new to see,then it will be time for youto paint something for me.For now I’ll make the most of itbefore the paints run dry.I’ll paint us a hot sunny dayand wings so we can fly.Yeah I have got some magic paints,everything I paint with them comes true.I’m mixing up some red and yellowand lots and lots of blue.Yeah I will paint a perfect day for you,I will paint a perfect day for you,yeah I will paint a perfect day for you!TIP JAR here : -) busk.co/bemuzic/tipYou can listen to/buy my music here https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/#CigarBoxGuitar #CBG #Blues #3String #LiveLooping #Electroharmonix22500 #RolandAC33 #Overdrive #MooerHustleDrive #Busking #Homemade #StIves #Cambridgeshire #ChildrenDancing

Love that rocking happy song. I bet those dancers put a grin on you. Sounding wonderful. Have a nice autumn.
thanks Brian and Doug, yep a few good minutes of connecting with people through music and forgetting the pandemic briefly is great!
It’s great to see kids dancing about again, especially during this pandemic we’re in now!! Thanx for sharing :)
