Open the rhyme

Intro

Colored bells had lost their line.
Two song cards were out of time.

Verse 1

Yellow, green, then yellow rang.
Find the card where those notes began.
Red-red-blue came at its end.
Find that start and make it blend.

Chorus

Hear the pattern, test the song.
Matching ends can lead along.
Point and hum from card to card.
Patterns make an order start.

Verse 2

Try a swap and hear the jump.
Put it back to smooth the bump.
Every color led the way
To the cheerful end they played.

Final Chorus

Hear the pattern, clear and true.
Test another point of view.
When the melody flows free,
Ordered clues make harmony.
