Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, red
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, red
Blend them up and what do ya get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultramarine
And every color in between
Hazo ka li kai no cha lum bum
Color has its harmony and just like I have said
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, blue, purple, red, red
Blend them all and what do ya get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultramarine
And every color in between
Ing za ri ka fo zi brun brun
Color has its harmony and just like I have said
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, pink, Grey
And white and plaid and blue, green, white, yellow and toodinz
'N' and and and white and and stripes, with blue and black and plaid and...
Dialogue: "What? What… Wait a second, what's going on with all the colors? Blue, red, green, green, white, white, black... Whatever happened to just plain old lavender blue dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly..dilly...dilly?"
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, red
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, red
Blend them up and what do ya get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultramarine
And every color in between
Heyutz kadoo vie son tin bow wow
Color has its harmony and just like I have said
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, yellow, blue, pur-ple!
Purple?! Wait a second, what am I saying?
It's supposed to finish with red...RED!
Dialogue: "Now, all right. We know that everybody don't have television sets with color, so we gonna do a version for them; We don't want you to feel left out of this! Here's for you."
Black, black, gray, white, gray, gray, gray
White, gray, white, gray, gray, white, black
Black, black, gray, white, gray, gray, gray
White, gray, white, gray, gray, white, black
Dialogue: "All right, now you happy? You don't feel left out? Now I wanna get back to my song."
Blend them up and what do ya get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultramarine
And every color in between
Whoop! Ti hi hi ho say say say
Color has its harmony and just like I have said
Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue
Red, purple, green, blue, purple, red
And white! And green! And plaid! And red and blue and, and... and it's...
(Finds the spectrum has made the NBC Peacock, and he struts around him)
Dialogue: "Phew! What a show-off! [snap] How do you like that guy? I'm gonna let you in on something. Confidentially, he dyes his feathers."
