Painting The Roses Red lyrics

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?

*talking*

Huh? Oh! Well, the fact is, Miss
We planted the white roses by mistake
And...

*singing*

The Queen she likes `em red
If she saw white instead
She`d raise a fuss
And each of us
Would quickly lose his head
[Alice:Goodness!]
Since this is the part we dread
We`re painting the roses red

[Alice: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
But we`re painting the roses red
Yes, painting the roses red
Not pink
Not green
Not aquamarine
We`re painting the roses red!
