A grand old painter died last night
His paintings on the wall
Before he went, he bade us well
And said goodnight to us all

Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

Three o'clock in the morning
I'm getting ready for bed
It came without a warning
But I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be waiting for you there

So drink to me drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

Jet, ooo, ooo, ooo
Jet, ooo, ooo, ooo
Jet, ooo, ooo, ooo
Jet, ooo, ooo, ooo

Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

I'll be waiting for your baby, yeah yeh

Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I, hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho

    It's actually partly true i have an interview with that one dude and he says they were at dinner and Dustin inquired to Paul how he wrote his songs and Paul couldn't really explain just said "you just sort of do it kind of pick 'em out the air and do it." Dustin asked Paul if he could write one there while they were at dinner or something and told him this story about picasso's death and that's what the song would be about. he also mentioned something about picasso's last days where he would walk around his garden's and look at nature and stuff and then go to work in his studio from 3:30 in the afternoon to midnight. and then at midnight, he would go and have his big one meal of the day outside with his friends and then after they had their grub and stuff he would go back in his studio and work straight until 3:30 in the morning. And the night before he died at his midnight feast he raised his glass of wine to his friends and said (in french) "drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore." and Dustin Hauffman said that there was two meanings: one that he can't drink too much or else get wasted and not be able to work in the studio. But also in another way he couldn't drink anymore because he would be dead in a few hours. And I think when he was done telling the story, Paul wasn't even fiddling around with his guitar... he "just finished the story and strummed the guitar." Anyways, that's pretty cool, the short acoustic version of this song kicks more ass than the original.
