Painting the Roses Red / March of the Cards - Soundtrack

We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop nor waste a drop
So let the paint be spread
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red

Painting the roses red
And many a tear be 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
Well, pardon me but Mr. Three
Why must you paint them red?

Well, the fact is, Miss
We've planted the white roses by mistake
And
The queen, she likes them red
If she saw white instead
She'd raise a fuss
And each of us
Would quickly lose his head
Goodness!
Since this is the part 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 what you have seen
Nor say that's what we said
But we're painting the roses red
Yes, painting the roses red
Not pink, not green, not aquamarine
We're painting the roses red!
