Orange Crate Art - Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks

Orange crate art was a place to start

Orange crate art was a world apart

Home for two with view of Sonoma

Where there’s aroma and heart

Memories of her orange crate art

Orange crate table and a rocking chair

Barnyard gate waiting some repair

Trust in fate and sweet inspiration

You could go bust to replace

Just what is here by the case

Hear the lonesome locomotion roar

Hobo hop on if you dare

And it rolls where grapes of wrath are stored

Stops on a bracero’s prayer

From the vine of a vintage cru

Comes the wine of this rendezvous

Room for two in view of Sonoma

Back when Ramona had heart

Memories of her orange crate art
