Lyrics
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna paint those blues away.
I got a big ol paintbrush,
And I got a bucket of paint.
Gonna dip that brush right in that paint
And paint those blues away.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna paint those blues away.
If you think sky’s gotta be blue
And rain clouds gotta be grey
Just dip your brush in a bucket of paint
And paint it a sunny day.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
So it’s always a sunny day.
If you are feeling down and blue.
And you don’t know what to do,
Put your rosey glasses on your nose
And sing this whole song through.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna sing the blues away.
Remember that Noah survived that flood
And the bird came back with green.
God made rainbows to celebrate,
So we can paint the blues tangerine.
We got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
We got green, pink, purple and yellow
It’s bye bye to the blues. Bye.
Bye bye to the blues.
Got green, pink, purple and yellow
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna paint those blues away.
I got a big ol paintbrush,
And I got a bucket of paint.
Gonna dip that brush right in that paint
And paint those blues away.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna paint those blues away.
If you think sky’s gotta be blue
And rain clouds gotta be grey
Just dip your brush in a bucket of paint
And paint it a sunny day.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
So it’s always a sunny day.
If you are feeling down and blue.
And you don’t know what to do,
Put your rosey glasses on your nose
And sing this whole song through.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
I got green, pink, purple and yellow
Gonna sing the blues away.
Remember that Noah survived that flood
And the bird came back with green.
God made rainbows to celebrate,
So we can paint the blues tangerine.
We got green, pink, purple and yellow
Got green, pink, purple and yellow.
We got green, pink, purple and yellow
It’s bye bye to the blues. Bye.
Bye bye to the blues.

Comments:
I loved the imagery and the idea of changing the colours of the scene rather than accepting it. The Noah and the Ark bit was a nice surprise near the end and related perfectly to the rainbow being the promise things were going to be ok.
