Lyrics

PAINTING THE ROSES RED

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 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!

(Sung)

Painting the roses red...

We're painting the roses red!

Don't tell the queen that's what you've seen

Or tell 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!
