White Song
Tune: “Jingle Bells”
White, white, white.
White, white, white.
W-H-I-T-E.
A nurse’s clothes.
A cloud that blows.
Shades of white to see.
White Is the Color
Tune: “Are You Sleeping? (Frère Jacques)”
White is the color,
White is the color,
Look and see,
Look and see!
Snowflakes falling softly,
Clouds up in the sky,
White, white, white!
White, white, white!
