<br>

Music: Richard Rodgers<br>

Lyrics: Lorenz Hart<br>

Book: George Abbott + John O'Hara<br>

Film: 1957<br>

<br>

My life had no color, before I met you<br>

What could have been duller, the times I went through<br>

You weakened my resistance, and colored my existence<br>

I'm happy, and unhappy too<br>

<br>

I'm a red hot Mama, but I'm blue for you<br>

I get purple with anger, at the things you do<br>

And I'm green with envy, when you meet a dame<br>

But you burn my heart up with an orange flame.<br>

<br>

I'm a red hot mama, but you white and cold<br>

Don't you know your Mama has a heart of gold<br>

Though we're in those grey clouds, someday you see<br>

That terrific rainbow over you and me.<br>

<br>
