Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 you get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultra marine, and every colour in between
Colour has it's 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 you get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultra marine, and every colour in between
Ing za ri ka fo zi brun brun
Colour has it's 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
Right and and strips with blue and a black and Plaid and a, a
Ooh and vut vut, vait a second, vut vut's going on wid all da colours?
Blue, red, green, green, white, white, black,
Vut ever happened to just plain old
Lavender blue dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly
Silly
The Spectrum Song by Disney celebrates the beauty and diversity of colors. The lyrics not only mention different colors but also tells us how blending them creates new shades like cerise, chartreuse, and aqua. The song teaches us that blending all the colors can create colors that the human eye cannot see. The phrase "Ing za ri ka fo zi brun brun, Hazo ka li ka no cha lum bum" adds to the whimsical nature of the song, as it doesn't have a literal meaning but contributes to the fun vibe of the song.
The song also touches upon the concept of color harmony, and how different colors when put together create an aesthetic balance. The final verse is a playful question about the randomness of colors and how the classic color lavender blue has been replaced by newer shades. Ultimately, the song celebrates the joy of colors and how they bring vibrancy to our lives.

There are also typos, like
Color has it's harmony = incorrect
Color has its harmony = correct
What's going on with all the color's = incorrect
What's going on with all the colors = correct
It also could have displayed text for all of the colors for children learning to spell and learning their colors.
But thank you for posting the song! Good memories :)

When We listened to this song in my science class I freaked out, because I had this on a tape as a kid. When it was over, my friend looked over at me and said, "What the heck?" And my reply was. "HAZO! KA LI KA NO CHA LUM BUM!"
