How Colors Delight

[Verse 1]
Oh, do you remember how colors of light
Can be added together to please and delight?
Cyan is exotic, no doubt that is true
But it's only the mixing of plain green and blue

[Verse 2]
Magenta is wild and romantic, it's said
But its parents are simple, they're just blue and red
And yellow is sunshine and lemony clean
Thorough the judicious mixing of pure red and green

[Verse 3]
Now black is the absence of reflected light
But when all come together the mixture is white
When it's light we are mixing the fact can be seen
That the primary colors are red, blue, and green

[Verse 4]
The rainbow is sunlight that boldly displays
The spectrum of color in its arching rays
And now you remember how colors of light
Can be added together to please and delight
