[Chorus]
What’s the shape, what’s the colour?
Can you see?
Can you count all the sides?
Play with me

[Verse 1]
Yellow square, yellow square
Look and see
You have got four straight sides
Count with me

[Verse 2]
Red triangle, red triangle
Look and see
You have got three straight sides
Count with me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Blue circle, blue circle
Look and see
You have got one curved side
Count with me

[Verse 4]
Green rectangle, green rectangle
Look and see
You have got four straight sides
Count with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blippi's song "Shapes" introduce various shapes and their characteristics to children. The chorus sets the theme by asking questions about the shapes, colors, and sides of the objects. It also encourages participation and engagement by inviting the listener to "play with me."


In the first verse, the focus is on a yellow square. The lyrics emphasize the visual aspect by instructing the listener to "look and see." It then highlights that squares have "four straight sides." The counting aspect is introduced, urging the listener to "count with me," further encouraging engagement and learning.


The second verse introduces a red triangle. Similar to the previous verse, it emphasizes visual observation by asking the listener to "look and see." The lyrics then inform that triangles have "three straight sides." Again, the counting element is present to involve the listener in the learning process.


The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the importance of shape recognition, color identification, and counting the sides of objects.


In the third verse, the focus shifts to a blue circle. The lyrics highlight that circles have "one curved side." This contrasts with the previous verses, as circles do not have straight sides. The counting element remains, inviting the listener to "count with me."


Finally, in the fourth verse, the lyrics introduce a green rectangle. As in previous verses, the listener is asked to "look and see." Rectangles are noted to have "four straight sides," similar to the yellow square. Continuing the pattern, the listener is encouraged to "count with me" once again.
