**[Verse 1: Gardeners]**
Oh no, oh no, we've made a blunder,
The roses should be red, not white like thunder.
The Queen will have our heads, it’s said,
If we don’t paint these roses red.
**[Chorus: Gardeners]**
Painting the roses red, painting the roses red,
In this garden fair, beware,
We're painting the roses red.
**[Verse 2: Alice]**
Why paint the roses? What's the fuss?
Is it really worth all this rush?
Can’t you see it’s just a flower?
Why bow down to such a power?
**[Gardener 1]**
Oh dear, sweet child, you mustn't know,
The Queen’s temper is quick to show.
If she sees these roses white,
Our heads will roll before the night.
**[Chorus: Gardeners]**
Painting the roses red, painting the roses red,
In this garden fair, beware,
We're painting the roses red.
**[Bridge: Gardeners & Alice]**
Every petal, every leaf,
Must be painted, or comes grief.
Red as blood, red as wine,
Or we’ll be parting our spine.
**[Verse 3: Alice]**
But surely there’s another way,
To keep the Queen’s fierce wrath at bay?
Why must beauty be concealed?
Why can’t the truth be revealed?
**[Gardener 2]**
In Wonderland, dear Alice, you’ll see,
Things aren’t always as they should be.
We do what’s needed to survive,
To keep our heads and stay alive.
**[Chorus: Gardeners & Alice]**
Painting the roses red, painting the roses red,
In this garden fair, beware,
We're painting the roses red.
**[Final Chorus: Gardeners & Alice]**
Painting the roses red, painting the roses red,
In this garden fair, beware,
We're painting the roses red.
**[Outro: Alice]**
In this world of red and white,
I’ll find my path, I’ll find what’s right.
For every rule that’s ever said,
There’s a way to paint it red.
