English Lyrics:

Chameleon Coloring Song

I’m a chameleon come and you’ll see
How I can change when you color me
Color me red, green and blue
Color me orange and purple too

I’m a chameleon and you are free
To use a crayon to color me
Color me brown, color me yellow
Color me so I’m a pink little fellow

I’m not so fond of black and white stuff
And somehow gray isn’t quite bright enough

I’m a chameleon, stunning to see
When you have finished coloring me

Peter Weatherall

French translation:

La chanson du coloriage du caméléon

Je suis un caméléon viens et tu verras
Comment je peux changer quand tu me colories
Colorie-moi en rouge, vert et bleu
Colorie-moi aussi en orange et violet

Je suis un caméléon et tu es libre
D’utiliser un crayon pour me colorier
Colorie-moi en marron, colorie-moi en jaune
Colorie-moi pour que je sois un petit compagnon rose

Je n’aime pas trop ce qui est en noir et blanc
Et d’une manière ou d’une autre, le gris n’est pas assez brillant

Je suis un caméléon, magnifique à regarder
Quand tu as fini de me colorier
