- The Cat in the Hat: (singing) If you want to paint a rainbow, There are things you need to know. There are always seven colors and this is how they go!
- Nick: (spoken) Did cat make up this song?
- King Kaleidoscope: (spoken) With a little help from me.
- The Cat in the Hat: (spoken) And a little help from Things One and Two.
- (Cat whistles)
- The Cat in the Hat: (singing) Red, like a tomato is always at the top, you know. Orange, like an orange is the one that's just below.
- Thing One: Yahoo!
- Thing Two: Yahoo!
- Nick and Sally: (giggling)
- The Cat in the Hat: (singing) Yellow like a banana is third upon the scene. Let's have one more, it's number four, it's green, green, green. Next after green, for you and you and you! It's my very favorite color. it has to be blue!
- Sally: (applause) Blueberries!
- The Cat in the Hat: (singing) And now there is a color that you may not know. It's a different sort of blue and we call it indigo. Indigo, go, go, go on an adventure! The thingamajigger is up and away... (spoken) Uh, uh... uh...
- King Kaleidoscope: Wrong song!
- The Cat in the Hat: (spoken) Sorry. Where was I... Oh yes! (singing) Last on the list and it's easy to forget. Is that lovely shade of purple that we call violet! Red, orange, yellow, then green followed by blue. Indigo and violet, That's our rainbow song for you! (spoken) Now you can all join in!
- King Kaleidoscope's Guardians of the Magic Cauldron Society: (singing) Red, orange, yellow, then green followed by blue.
