Can you guess the color of our first lamb?
It's the color of yummy, strawberry jam.
(red lamb)
The sky above and the ocean, too,
The next lamb is the color ... blue!
The stars and moon shine brightly at night,
The next lamb is the color ... white!
The next lamb is a jolly fellow,
It's the color of sunshine, the color ... yellow!
Frogs, grass and pickles you've seen
The next lamb is the color ... green!
Dark licorice in a sack,
Can you guess which lamb? It's the color ... black!
Grapes are this lambs favorite to eat,
Can you guess the color of his favorite treat?
(purple)
Goldfish swimming in the sea,
The lamb exclaims, "he's the color as me!"
