Painting the Roses Red / March of the Cards

歌詞

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 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 Oh! And yet we go ahead painting the roses red Painting the roses red We’re painting the roses red Pardon me but, Mr. Three why must you paint them red? Huh? Oh! 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 a fuss And each of us Would quickly lose his head Goodness! 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 what you have seen or say that’s what we said We’re painting the roses red Yes, painting the roses red Not pink Not green Not aquamarine We’re painting the roses red
