Scarlet is the only paint I know Gone from my palette forever Are greens and blues of every hue Yellows and oranges no longer acceptable Purples blacks and whites, no more Red, scarlet crimson; only these The color of blood and roses But wait, I don't like order So let's say that french kisses are red And cool water is too Redefining red as I wish, I make Soft curling ferns and fuzzy bellied hedgehogs red And you know what? Scarlet is now the only paint I know

scarlet is the only paint i know
Scarlet is the only paint I know Gone from my palette forever Are greens and blues of every hue Yellows and oranges no longer acceptable Purples blacks and whites, no more Red, scarlet crimson; only these The color of blood and roses But wait, I don't like order So let's say that french kisses are red And cool water is too Redefining red as I wish, I make Soft curling ferns and fuzzy bellied hedgehogs red And you know what? Scarlet is now the only paint I know
