and they all went mmm-mmh-ah!

ladiladida, ladiladida,
we all know flamingos go – la-di-ladi-da
they don´t go mmm-mmh-ah

Pass the colour

Tune: Row, row, row your boat

Pass, pass, pass the color,

That´s the game we play!

When the little song is through,

The color name we'll say.

What Color Are You Wearing?

Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb

If you're wearing red today, red today, red today,

If you're wearing red today, stand up and shout “Hooray!”

If you´re wearing blue today , blue today,

If you´re wearing blue today, stand up and shout "Hooray!"

Rainbow song

Tune: Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Red and orange, green and blue,

Shiny yellow, and purple too.

All the colours that we know,

Live up in the rainbow.

Red and orange, green and blue,

Shiny yellow, and purple too.
