Right this way, please
Welcome to the house of color
Would you like a cup of tea?
Nothing is dull here

The reds are brilliant, and try to beat the others
But of course they don't get to, or we wouldn't be called the house of colors

The greens, how wonderful in every single shade
And then there's Neon Green (who was always a bit of a renegade)

The soft and sinister purples also come to view
Not all of them are nice, some of them are worn, not as new

There's oranges that roll downstairs (would you like a taste?)
The citron taste does not, the fine palate,  escape

The yellows pour in
some sunshine, some shades of *****

And then for cool and bright blues
(this isn't all, too)

We also have greys, blacks, whites
So step right in and order yours tonight

We don't charge much for shipping and handling (though they're much too hard to hold)
We can give you any type, light, dark, or bold

This was the house of colors, we hope you liked what you have seen
We also give quality: fat, thin, or a beam

We can give you rainbows (though those are getting rare)
And you must be extra careful with them (they easily tear)

So welcome to the house of colors
Not a normal house like others
