Bed of Roses Lyrics by Mary Kutter
She got tired of hiding her black eye behind a white picket fence
Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right, maybe it was self defense
She rolled him up real good, didn’t have to take him too far
Guess there ain’t no place better than your own backyard
He’s pushing up daisies
He woke up her crazy
Now he’s asleep six feet below
They don’t even know it
He’s under their noses
He’s pushing up daisies
In her bed of roses
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Sheriff came sniffing ‘round but she was one hell of an improviser
Little did he know that deadbeat of hers made a damn good fertilizer
I tell ya, ya ain’t seen nothing better in a Better Homes and Garden
She made good use of her dearly departed
He’s pushing up daisies
He woke up her crazy
Now he’s asleep six feet below
They don’t even know it
He’s under their noses
He’s pushing up daisies
In her bed of roses
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Roses are red, carnations are white
Beauty grew out of that thorn in her side
Roses are red, carnations are white
Ripped out that thorn in her side
He’s pushing up daisies
He woke up her crazy
Now he’s asleep six feet below
They don’t even know it
He’s under their noses
He’s pushing up daisies
In her bed of roses
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
He’s pushin’ ‘em up!
