Painting the Roses Red
Автор: Bob Hilliard и Sammy Fain
Card painters:
Da dee dee da da da, Doodle de do,
dee do dee do, bum bum bum bum,
Painting the roses red, we're painting
the roses red, we cannot stop or waste
a drop, so let the painting spread.
We're painting the roses red, we're
painting the roses red! Painting the
roses red, a bitter tear we shed, because
we know they'll seize to grow, in fact
they'll soon be dead. Noooo! And yet we
go ahead, painting the roses red, red,
red, red, red, red, red, red. Painting
the roses red, we're painting the roses
red...
Alice:
Oh, pardon me, but mister Three, why
must you paint them red?
Card painters: Huh? Oh! Well, the fact is, miss:
we planted the white roses by mistake.
And, the queen she likes them red. If
she saw what we said, she'd raise her
voice and each of us would quickly
loose his head.
Alice:
Goodness!
Card painters:
Since this is that what we dread,
we're painting the roses red!
Alice:
Painting the roses red...
Alice & Card painters:
We're painting the roses red. Don't
tell the queen what you have seen,
or say that's what we said, what, we're
painting the roses red...
Alice:
Yes, painting the roses red...
Card painters:
Not pink, not green...
Alice: Not aqua-marine...
Alice & Card painters:
We're painting the roses red!
Cards:
They're going to loose their heads,
for painting the roses red, it serves
them right, they planted white, the
roses should be red. Oh, they're going
to loose their head...
