The Colour lyrics

“What shall I bring you?
Please will white do
Best for your wearing
       &nbsp The long day through?”
“ - White is for weddings,
Weddings, weddings,
White is for weddings,
       &nbsp And that won’t do.”

“What shall I bring you?
Please will red do
Best for your wearing
       &nbsp The long day through?”
“ - Red is for soldiers,
Soldiers, soldiers,
Red is for soldiers,
       &nbsp And that won’t do.”

“What shall I bring you?
Please will blue do
Best for your wearing
       &nbsp The long day through?”
“ - Blue is for sailors,
Sailors, sailors,
Blue is for sailors,
       &nbsp And that won’t do.
“What shall I bring you?
Please will green do
Best for your wearing
       &nbsp The long day through?”
“ - Green is for mayings,
Mayings, mayings,
Green is for mayings,
       &nbsp And that won’t do.”

“What shall I bring you
Then? Will black do
Best for your wearing
       &nbsp The long day through?”
“ - Black is for mourning,
Mourning, mourning,
Black is for mourning,
       &nbsp And black will do.”
