Lyrics
Outrageous Orange, Laser Lemon, and Jungle Green. That's what I said. Wild Watermelon, Midnight Blue, Atomic Tangerine... Radical Red, Sky Blue, and Shamrock too, and Gold so true it glows. I love the Razzmatazz, and Purple Pizazz, and Razzle Dazzle Rose. Every color's like an old friend. Hot Magenta is a godsend. I took the factory tour. It really opened the door, and I at once became transfixed. I know they're pieces of wax, but I can never relax without my box of 96. Crayola, Crayola's all that I know. The colors, delicious, making a rainbow. Crayola, I love you so. I love them so much, every shade, every gorgeous hue. It's no surprise they're taking over everything that I say and do. I'm gonna rise at dawn with no clothes on, and color on my skin. Colors of life and love from Heaven above, absolve me of my sin. I would wear them like a nightgown, but they're getting kinda worn down. I took the factory tour. It really opened the door, and I at once became transfixed. I know they're pieces of wax, but I can never relax without my box of 96. I love you Vivid Violet. I love you Robin's Egg Blue. I love you Screamin' Green, and Purple Mountain's Majesty too. I really love my babies I really love my babies I love my crayons and I love the way the taste Crayola, Crayola's all that I know. The colors, delicious, making a rainbow. Crayola, I love you so.
