Katie Melua - Mary Pickford (Used To Eat Roses) lyrics

Mary Pickford used to eat roses

Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did

One supposes

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome

He wore a moustache

Must-a had much cash, too

Worth a king's ransom

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited

When these artists became united

When these artists became united

David Griffith worked as an extra

Then as a stage-hand

Until they let him be

A director

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker

A true pioneer

He seemed to show no fear

A real film maker

Just like Chaplin, he was invited

When these artists became united

When these artists became united

They tied the knot together

Groom and bride couldn't hide their pleasure

They tried to pick fair weather

But love died, didn't last forever

Mary Pickford used to eat roses

Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did

One supposes

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome

He wore a moustache

Must-a had much cash too

Worth a king's ransom

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited

When these artists became united

When these artists became united

When these artists became united
