Will you wear red?
Oh my dear,
Oh my dear.
Will you wear red Jennie JenKins?
I won't wear red,
It's the color of my head.
I'll buy me a fol-di-rol-di till-di-tol-di
Seek a double roll
Jennie JenKins Roll.
Red ..............It's the color of my head
Blue..............'Cause the color's too true
Yellow...........It's the color of a fellow
Green............Isn't fit to be seen
Black............ It's the color of my back
Pink...............It's the color of a stink
Orange.......... It's the color of an orange
White............ For the color's too bright
Grey..............It's the color of a whale
Stripes........….pipes
Flowers........….Dowers
Dots........... ….spots
