Color Songs and Poems

Rainbow Song
Tune: Hush, Little Baby

Rainbow purple
Rainbow blue
Rainbow green
And yellow too
Rainbow orange
Rainbow red
Rainbow shining over head.

Come and count
The colors with me
How many colors
Can you see?
1 - 2 - 3 on down to green
4 - 5 - 6 colors can be seen!

Rainbow purple
Rainbow blue
Rainbow green
And yellow too
Rainbow orange
Rainbow red
Rainbow shining over head.

RED
Tune: Are You Sleeping?

I like red,
I like red,
r-e-d,
r-e-d.
A fire truck is red.
A stop sign is red.
r-e-d
r-e-d.

PURPLE
Tune: This Old Man

P - U - R - P - L - E
Spells the color purple you see.
Like the grapes on a vine,
Or some plums in a tree.
P - U - R - P - L - E

BLUE
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell

B-l-u-e spells blue.
B-l-u-e spells blue.
Hi-ho did you know
B-l-u-e spells blue?

The big sky is blue.
The ocean is too.
Hi-ho did you know
B-l-u-e spells blue?

YELLOW
Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It

Y-e-l -l-o-w spells yellow.
Y-e-l -l-o-w spells yellow.
Like the early morning the sun
When the day has just begun.
Y-e-l -l-o-w spells yellow.

Daffodils and baby ducks are yellow.
Lemonade and scrambled eggs are yellow.
I like the smiley face that’s yellow,
He is such a happy fellow.
Y-e-l -l-o-w spells yellow.

BLACK
Tune: Jingle Bells

Black bats fly,
Black cats cry,
b-l-a-c-k
Black is the color of the night
b-l-a-c-k
BLACK!

WHITE
Tune: Little Brown Jug

W-h-i-t-e
That spells white, sing with me.
Milk is white and so is glue,
Ghosts are white and they say
BOO!

W-h-i-t-e
That spells white, sing with me.
The clouds above, the snow below,
Santa’s beard
HO, HO, HO!

BROWN
Tune: Bingo

There is a color we all know.
Can you guess what it is?
B-r-o-w-n,
B-r-o-w-n,
B-r-o-w-n,
That’s how you spell brown.

Teddy bears and squirrels are brown,
Autumn leaves are too.
Chocolate candy is always brown.
Chocolate cake is always brown.
Chocolate milk is always brown.
I like brown, don’t you?

GREEN
Tune: Bingo

There was a farmer who had a snake
and it was very green.
g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n
and it was very green.

There was a farmer who had an alligator
and it was very green.
g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n
and it was very green.

There was a farmer who had a frog
and it was very green.
g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n
and it was very green.

They all lived in the long green grass
and they were very green.
g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n, g-r-e-e-n
and they were very green.
