I am going to buy some paint

a tin of black then red,

so I can ask my lady

if she would like to Wed.



I"ve found the perfect wall

she passes everyday,

wait until she reads

what it is I have to say.



Gonna paint it really tall

the letters six feet high,

ask her if she"ll stay

with me until I die.



So I went in to the store

and ordered up my paint,

but the answer that I got

well, it made me feel quite faint.



Oh they had plenty black

but the red was out of stock,

so the women she just said

"please, if we could only talk"



"Never mind the red,

just you think of white,

and when she reads the message

I"m sure she"ll see the light"



So it was that I agreed

and bought the black and white,

then waited all that day

until it was the night.



My words they just stood out

oh they were quite a sight,

my lady she said yes

said yes with all her might.



So it was that we were married

my message won the day,

and I cleaned the wall

what more can I say.



The woman she was right

it was exactly as she said,

the white it really worked

and made the black paint read.
