What looks best in Green-yellow?
Green-yellow is a cheerful hue
It brightens up the day
It makes me think of springtime flowers
And lemonade in May

It sparkles in the sun
It reminds me of the parrots' wings
And bananas by the ton

It fills me with delight
It looks best on a butterfly
Or a kite up in the flight
