about

This fun song was suggested by Mirriam, age 3 1/2. Ken Whiteley plays it on the piano in four different keys, and his brother, Chris Whiteley, plays along brilliantly on the trumpet! The Sparrows, a choir of home-schooled children led by Chris White, yell out the rhyming words.

lyrics

Pink

Words and music by Chris White.

Based on a suggestion from Mirriam (age 3 1/2) in July, 2017.

When I'm at school or at the park or at the hockey rink
Or riding on the bus or washing dishes in the sink
My clothing is coordinated with one common link –
No matter where I am, you know that I'll be wearing pink!

Rink rink rink, sink sink sink
Link link link link pink pink pink!

It is the finest colour in existence, don't you think?
I have a pink umbrella, knapsack, skateboard, pen and ink
I idolize flamingoes, I would be one in a wink
'Cause then I'd know for sure I'd be forever in the pink!

Think think think, ink ink ink
Wink wink wink wink pink pink pink!

My mom brought me a yellow cup and offered me a drink
But as you might imagine, I created quite a stink!
I said, That spectral frequency is causing me to shrink
I'm begging you, dear Mother, please provide a cup that's pink!

Drink drink drink, stink stink stink
Shrink shrink shrink shrink pink pink pink!

Two animals went out one day – a monkey and a mink –
To dig up every mineral from anthracite to zinc
They noted each rock's colour every time they heard a "clink"
And in the end agreed the most appealing ones were pink!

Mink mink mink, zinc zinc zinc
Clink clink clink clink pink pink pink!
