Paint one, paint two,
Hide all the lies.
Paint three, paint four,
Hide them from her eyes.
Paint them red, paint them black,
Anything but white.
Paint them blue, paint them green,
Any color seems just right.
Paint them orange, paint them pink,
Lest we suffer her ireful wrath.
Paint them purple, paint them yellow,
Lest we tread the dreaded path.
Paint one, paint two,
Hide all the lies.
Paint three, paint four,
Hide them from her eyes.
Servatis a periculum,
Servatis a maleficum.
Servatis a Cuius Vescus,
Servatis a excessum.
