This is little blue
Here he is at home with papa and mama blue
Little blue has many friends, but his best friend is little yellow
who lives across the street
How they love to play at hide-and-seek
and ring-a-ring-o'-roses
In school they sit still in neat rows
After school they run and jump and chase each other all the way home
One day mama blue went shopping
"You stay home," she said to little blue
But little blue went out to look for little yellow
Alas, the house across the street was empty
He looked here
and there
and everywhere
until suddenly, around a corner, there was little yellow
Happily they hugged each other
and hugged each other
and hugged each other
until they were green
Then they went to play in the park
They ran through a long dark tunnel
They chased little orange up and down the hills
They climbed a great big mountain
When they were tired, they went home
But papa and mama blue said, "You are not our little blue, you are green"
And papa and mama yellow said, "You are not our little yellow, you are green"
Little blue and little yellow were very sad
They cried big blue and yellow tears
They cried and cried until they were all tears
When they finally pulled themselves apart, there was little blue
and there was little yellow
They said, "Will they believe us now"
Mama blue and papa blue were very happy to see their little blue
They hugged him and kissed him
And they hugged little yellow too
but look, they became green
Now they knew what had happened
and so they went across the street to bring the good news
They all hugged each other with joy
and the children played until suppertime
