The Rainbow Song

March 25, 2013 by ajpassey 4 Comments

The Rainbow Song

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star“)

Red and orange, green and blue
Shiny yellow, purple, too.
All the colors that we know,
Live up in the rainbow.
Red and orange, green and blue
Shiny yellow, purple, too.

    My mother taught me and my siblings this song. Her version was slightly different, so I’ll share this version:
    Orange, red, green and blue. Shiny yellow, purple too. Black, brown, pink you know live up in the rainbow.
