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 you get?
Cerise, chartreuse, and aqua
Mauve, beige, and ultra marine, and every colour in between
Hazo ka li ka no cha lum bum

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Spectrum Song" by Disney celebrates the beauty and variety of different colors. The lyrics begin with repeating patterns of colors such as "red, yellow, green, red, blue blue blue" and "red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red red", which then blend to create new colors like "cerise, chartreuse, and aqua" and "mauve, beige, and ultra marine." The chorus emphasizes the harmony that colors can create as they mix and blend together.


The song then playfully exaggerates with the lyrics becoming more nonsensical and adding unexpected colors like "white, and plaid" and "green, white, yellow and toodinz 'n' and and and." The song ends with a playful nod to the confusion caused by the variety of colors, asking "whatever happened to just plain old lavender blue dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly?" In essence, the song celebrates the beauty and uniqueness of color while also recognizing that their endless variety can be overwhelming.

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!"
