Painting the Roses Red / March of the Cards
Bum bum bum bum
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread!
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, painting the roses red
And many a tear we shed
Because we know
They'll cease to grow
In fact they'll soon be dead!
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red!
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, pardon me
But Mister Three
Why must you paint them red?
Well the fact is, Miss, we planted the white roses by mistake!
And...
The queen
She likes them red
If she saw white instead
She'd raise her voice
And each of us would quickly lose his head!
Since this is the thought we dread
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, dear, then let me help you!
Painting the roses red...
We're painting the roses red!
Don't tell the queen that's what you've seen
Or say her what we've said!
We're painting the roses red
Yes, painting the roses red!
Not pink
Not green
Not aquamarine!
We're painting the roses red!
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread!
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, painting the roses red
And many a tear we shed
Because we know
They'll cease to grow
In fact they'll soon be dead!
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red!
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, pardon me
But Mister Three
Why must you paint them red?
Well the fact is, Miss, we planted the white roses by mistake!
And...
The queen
She likes them red
If she saw white instead
She'd raise her voice
And each of us would quickly lose his head!
Since this is the thought we dread
We're painting the roses red!
Oh, dear, then let me help you!
Painting the roses red...
We're painting the roses red!
Don't tell the queen that's what you've seen
Or say her what we've said!
We're painting the roses red
Yes, painting the roses red!
Not pink
Not green
Not aquamarine!
We're painting the roses red!
