The words
R! R! R! Rrr, rrr, rrr!
R is for Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow! R is for Rainbow — rrr, rrr, R!
Rrr-rrr-rabbit, hop, hop, hop, rrr-rrr-robot, beep and stop, rrr-rrr-rocket, zoom up high, R is for Rainbow — in the sky!
Rrr-rrr-ring upon my hand, rrr-rrr-rose, the prettiest in the land, rrr-rrr-rug, all soft and red, R is for Rainbow — over my head!
A straight line down, a bump up high, a little kick out to the side, shine bright, Rainbow — look, it's an R! (Whee!)
Rrr-rrr-ruler, straight and long, rrr-rrr-raft floats along, rrr-rrr-radish, crunchy and pink, R is for Rainbow — wink, wink, wink!
Say it with me: rrr! (rrr!) Say it again: rrr! (rrr!) Growl like a tiger: rrr! (rrr!) Reach up high: rrr! (rrr!) Rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr — R! R! Rainbow!
Rrr-rrr-rooster, cock-a-doodle-doo, rrr-rrr-rhino, big and blue, rrr-rrr-raccoon, stripy tail, R is for Rainbow — after the rain!
Whee! Whee!
R is for Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow! R is for Rainbow — rrr, rrr, R! R is for Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow! R is for Rainbow — rrr, rrr, R!
Rabbit, robot, rocket, ring, rose, rug, ruler, raft, radish, rooster, rhino, raccoon — R is for Rainbow...
