Chris Shaw and Bridget Ball do a nice version of this song on their album "Songs from the Big Front Porch". I THINK their web site is something like bridgetandchris.com, but I'm not positive. I heard Bridget do this song at the Night Eagle in Oxford, NY. She requested colors to add to the vss from the audience. Someone suggested 'puse' [sp? pron. pyoose], and after a brief thought sang, 'No I won't wear puse. I just refuse' (pronouncing it 'refyoose', of course.) On the CD they do orange as 'No orange I won't wear and it rhymes. So there!' and end with 'What will you wear, oh my dear...Well, what do you care if I just go bare!' I'd be careful about using that in the schools, though!
