Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Red is the color of a pretty pillow box
Orange is any orange on a tree
Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops
Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea
[Verse 2]
Blue is the color of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a Siamese cat's eyes
Violet's the color of a pretty little flower
These are the colors of the rainbow skies
[Verse 3]
Red is the color of a pretty pillow box
Orange is any orange on a tree
Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops
Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea
[Verse 4]
And blue is the color of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a Siamese cat's eyes
Violet's the color of a pretty little flower
These are the colors of the rainbow skies
