Colours song by Grancie in YouTube

Here are the lyrics of the song:

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and brown

Colours in my crayon box, colours all around.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet

are colours in the rainbow.

CHORUS: Colours, colours, pretty as can be

Brighten up our world, everything we see.

Colours, colours, what a lovely sight

colours everywhere, beautiful and bright.

Red, orange, yellow are the tree leaves every fall.

Blue skies turn to purple skies when the nighttime calls.

Green is the summer grass that's on the ground.

So many pretty colours, colours all around!

CHORUS

Beautiful and bright!
