Painting Fun
Original Author: Unknown
Sung to: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
I know the colors for painting fun,
Green like grass and yellow sun,
An Orange pumpkin and white snow,
A red rose and a black crow,
Blue like a mailbox, brown like an ape,
A pink pig and some purple grapes.
If your wearing Red

If you are wearing red, Shake your head,
If you are wearing red, Shake your head,
If you are wearing red,
Then please shake your head.
If you are wearing red, shake your head.

Black, pat your back
Green, bow like a queen
Yellow, Shake like Jell-O
Brown, Turn around
Pink, give us a wink.

Sung to: “Eency Weency Spider”
Orange is a carrot
Yellow is the sun
Green is the grass
Brown’s a cookie when it’s done
Purple is a plum and
Blue is the sky and
Black is the witch’s hat and
Red’s a cherry pie.
