Oh, her lips were red
And her eyes were bold
Her hair was like yeller, yeller, yeller gold
The color of yeller, yeller, yeller gold

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow
Is overdue

These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray.
These is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue.

Have a look at the animals' colors,
Have a look, you may be surprised.

I used to be color-blind
But I met you and now I find
There's green in the grass
There's gold in the moon
There's blue in the skies

Holly called me from the lobby of the Palace Theatre in London, where she's watching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It was intermission.

She said while they were painting the bus lavender, in the show, they sang "Color My World":

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day...

(Petula Clark)

It's not that easy being green,
Being just the same color as the trees.

Kodachrome, you give us nice bright colors,
The greens of summers;
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away.

Gold was a windy Kansas wheatfield;
Blue was the color of the Kansas summer skies.

I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
that's why I love you
so don't be afaid
to let them show
your true colors
true colors
are beautiful
like a rainbow...

So pretty in the sky.
