Intro
Daisy paints her favorite pond,
But all her green paint is gone.
Verse 1
Blue and yellow touch one day.
A tiny green spot comes to play.
Red and white make flower pink,
But green needs something else to mix.
Chorus
Blue plus yellow, stir it round.
Green new paint is what she found.
One small drop and one small drop,
Mix them in a clean new cup.
Verse 2
Daisy tests one corner first.
Bright green color works the best.
Three green lily pads appear,
Blue-and-yellow dots mark it clear.
Final Chorus
Blue plus yellow, stir it round.
Green new paint is what she found.
Try a little, look and see.
Mixing colors solved it neatly.
Outro
Pink flower, green pond, colors bright.
Daisy's careful mix was right.
