Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse 

    

  Red is the color of a lot of lollipops,

Orange is any orange on a tree.

Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops,

Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea.



Blue is the color of the sky in summertime

Indigo is a Siamese cat's eyes.

Violet's the color of a flow'r in wintertime.

These are the colors of the rainbow skies.



There is a beautiful land

Where all your dreams come true;

It's all tied up in a rainbow,

All shiny and new;

But it's not easy to find

No matter what you do.



It's not on top of a mountain

Or beneath the deep blue sea

Or in London zoo or in Timbuktoo,

Or in Timbuckthree.



And if you travelled the world

From China to Peru,

There's no beautiful land on the chart.

An explorer could not begin

To discover its origin

For the beautiful land is in your heart.
