Track 1 in Joe Hayman's "Colors of My Rainbow".
Lyrics:
Once upon a time
in ancient days gone by
days were bright, especially bright.
I will tell you why:
‘Cause every single day
had rainbows in the sky.

The rainbows they were everywhere,
all around on every hand.
You could always see them pouring
all their colors on the land.
The rainbows changed the dullest day
from gray and made it grand.

And then one day a silly moose
decided they should not be loose.
Grabbed a bag and stuffed them in.
Tied it tight without a grin.
Hid them in the basement too.
The people saddened through and through.

The world had grown quite bleak
All the colors dark and weak
Smiles had disappeared
much worse than had been feared.
With rainbows sadly locked away
what could brighten up the day?

There was a chance though it was slim
that in that basement dark and grim
rainbows might just find a way
to wiggle out and flood the day
with colors of the brightest hue,
red and yellow, green and blue.

And so they found a tiny crack
and one by one sneak from that sack.
When one gets away
it leaps across the day
and brings back hopes and grins and smiles
and warms our hearts for miles and miles.

So when it thunders on a rainy day
cross your fingers in a special way.
Hold your tongue just right
and I can safely say
another rainbow, colors bright,
might just get away.

Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows,
rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows.
Rainbows shining brightly.
Rainbows dancing lightly.
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows,
rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows.
Rainbows shining brightly.
Rainbows dancing lightly.
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows,
rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows.
