Alice In Wonderland (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

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 & 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, spoken]
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, spoken]
Goodness!
[THE CARDS]
Since this is the thought we dread
We're painting the roses red!
[ALICE, spoken]
Oh, dear, then let me help you!
(Sung)
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
[Instrumental]
