Sing

Rainbow Colors to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” 

First comes red and orange too 

Shiny yellow, green, and blue 

Purple ends the pretty rays 

Only seen on rainy days 

First comes red and orange too 

Shiny yellow, green, and blue

Bubble, Bubble, Pop! 

One little red fish 

Swimming in the water, 

Swimming in the water, 

Swimming in the water. 

One little red fish 

Swimming in the water, 

Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble...POP! 

Verses: Increase the number and change the colour.
