Alice in Wonderland1951

Card Painter, Card Painter, Card Painter:
Painting the roses red / We're painting the roses red / We dare to stop or waste a drop / So let the paint be spread / We're painting the roses red / We're painting the roses red / Bum bum bum bum / Oh-h-h-h / Painting the roses red / And many a tear we shed

Card Painter:
Because we know

Card Painter, Card Painter:
They'll cease to grow

Card Painter:
In fact, they'll soon be dead

Card Painter, Card Painter:
Oh!

Card Painter, Card Painter, Card Painter:
And yet we got ahead / Painting the roses red / Red, red, red, red / Red, red, red, red / Painting the roses red / We're painting the roses red...

Alice:
[singing] Oh, pardon me, but, Mr. 3 / Why must you paint them red?
