Alice No País Das Maravilhas - Painting The Roses Red

[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

[Three of clubs]
Because we know

[Two and three of clubs]
They'll cease to grow

[Ace of clubs]
In fact they'll soon be dead

[The cards]
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red

Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red

[Alice]
Oh, pardon me
But mister three
Why must you paint them red?

[Three of clubs]
Well the fact is, miss, we planted the white roses by mistake
And

[The cards]
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

[Alice]
Goodness

[The cards]
Since this is the thought we dread
We're painting the roses red

[Alice]
Oh, dear, then let me help you
Painting the roses red

[All]
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

[Alice]
Yes, painting the roses red

[Ace]
Not pink
[Three of clubs]
Not green

[Alice]
Not aquamarine

[All]
We're painting the roses red
March of the cards
