If You're Wearing Red
Tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you're wearing red, shake your head
If you're wearing red, shake your head
You've got red on and you know it
So don't be afraid to show it!
If you're wearing red, shake your head.

If you're wearing blue, touch your shoe...
If you're wearing black, pat your back...
If you're wearing yellow, shake like Jello...

RED
(Tune of "Happy Birthday")
R-e-d spells red
R-e-d spells red
I know how to spell red
R-e-d spells red

R-E-D
(Tune of "Are You Sleeping?")
R-e-d, R-e-d
I can spell red, I can spell red
Fire trucks are red
Stop signs are red, too
R-e-d, R-e-d
