COLOURS

Yellow is a star.
Yellow is the sun.
Yellow is the moon,
When the day is done.

Orange is an orange.
Orange is a carrot.
Orange is the colour
of the beak of a parrot.

Blue is the ocean.
Blue is the sky.
Blue are the blueberries
I put into the pie.

Green is grass,
String beans and peas.
Green are the branches
on Christmas trees.

Red is an apple.
Red is a cherry.
Red is a rose.
And a ripe strawberry.

Purple are grapes.
Purple are plums.
Purple is a violet.
And the bruise on my thumb.

Brown is mud,
Brown is toast,
Brown is chocolate,
And a Sunday roast.

THE COLOUR SONG

("This Old Man")

Red, red, red, touch your head.
Blue, blue, blue, blue, tie your shoe.
Brown, brown, brown, brown, touch the ground.
White, white, white, white, take a bite.

Black, black, black, touch your back.
Purple, purple, draw a circle.
Pink, pink, pink, pink, give a wink.
Gray, gray, gray, gray, shout hurray!
