From the recording Say Hello To The Morning
Words and Music by Hap Palmer ©Hap-Pal Music 1976
I learned this very different version of Hap’s song from Jody Kruskel. In order not to exclude anyone I tell children that if they wished they were wearing the named colour, they can stand up too.
Lyrics
What are you wearing, what are you wearing,
What are you wearing today, today.
What are you wearing, what are you wearing,
What are you wearing today.
If you’re wearing red..... then stand up
And if you’re wearing red. Then nod your head.
And if you’re wearing red, then turn around.
And if you’re wearing red, then sit back down.
Blue.... tap your shoe
Green .... jump like a jumping bean.
White .. wave your arms like a bird in flight.
Clothes ....touch your nose, touch your toes.
