5 Little Flowers

May 2, 2016 by ajpassey 2 Comments

Five Little Flowers

Five little flowers growing in a row,
The first one said, “I’m purple you know!”
The second one said, “I’m pink as pink can be.”
The third one said, “I’m blue like the sea.”
The fourth one said, “I’m a very red fellow.”
And the fifth one said, “My color is yellow.”

Then out came the sun, big and bright.
And five little flowers smiled in delight.

The Rainbow Song

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star“)

Shiny yellow, purple, too.

Live up in the rainbow.

Shiny yellow, purple, too.
