Color Song

White, Oh white, oh white, oh dear -
White, Oh white color Jenkins
I wouldn't wear white
Cause you'd see it at night
I'll buy me a hum-a-dum-a-diddle-a-daddle-dubble-wubble
sackajus-a-boddle-a-bindin's -
To wear with the roobajum jenkins.

Pink, Oh pink, oh pink, oh dear
Pink, Oh pink color Jenkins
I wouln't wear pink
Cause the color would stink
I'll buy me a hum-a-dum-a-diddle-a-daddle-dubble-wubble
sackajus-a-boddle-a-bindin's -
To wear with the roobajum jenkins.

Brown, Oh brown, oh brown, oh dear
Brown, Oh brown color Jenkins
I wouldn't wear brown
Cause it's the color of the town
I'll buy me a hum-a-dum-a-diddle-a-daddle-dubble-wubble
sackajus-a-boddle-a-bindin's -
To wear with the roobajum jenkins.

Green, Oh green, oh green, oh dear
Green, Oh green color Jenkins
I wouldn't wear green
Cause the color could be seen
I'll buy me a hum-a-dum-a-diddle-a-daddle-dubble-wubble
sackajus-a-boddle-a-bindin's -
To wear with the roobajum jenkins.

As sung by Bill Jackson and Myra Pipkin in Arvin FSA Camp, 1941.
