"Orange" is the fifth of six songs from the episode "Concert Day at Tarrytown Airport". It is Herky's number for the show, and he sings this for Snuffy to get inspiration for his song. Snuffy first suggested orange, but Herky chose it before him. It's about the color that is made with yellow, which is Tracy's favorite color and red, which is the color that nobody sings about, even though it's not in the Concert Day program. It is sung in English, Spanish-style.
Lyrics
Herky: Tr-r-racy, is it my tur-r-rn now?
Tracy: Sure is, Herky.
Herky: Gr-r-reat! I can’t wait to sing about my favor-r-rite color-r-r. Or-r-r-ange.
Snuffy: Oh, well, maybe orange isn't such a good idea after all.
Tracy: (sighs)
Herky: Or-r-r-ange,
Each time I think about or-r-r-ange,
I'm r-r-reminded of
Pumpkins on Halloween,
Apr-r-ricots and tanger-r-rines,
Or-r-r-ange.
Or-r-r-ange,
My favor-r-rite cr-r-rayon is or-r-r-ange.
I'm dr-r-rawing pictur-r-res of
Tiger-r-rs and tabby cats,
And donuts, with icing that's or-r-r-ange.
Mmm... donuts, yummy!
Let's make a little stop,
Down at Andy's Donut Shop.
I'll show you the donuts that I like.
Andy puts the icing on just r-r-right,
Oh, by the way, did I for-r-rget to say it's...
Or-r-r-ange,
The donut icing is or-r-r-ange.
It's har-r-rd for me to think about,
When life would be without or-r-r-ange!
I like my donuts with or-r-r-ange!
The icing's got to be or-r-r-ange, yummy!
Let's paint the donut holes or-r-r-ange,
Oh, I'm donut cr-r-razy for or-r-r-ange...
Ah, whoa, whoop, whoo!!!
Boy, singing sur-r-re makes me hungr-r-ry!
I'm going to get some donuts.
Trivia
- Herky is supposed to lose control whenever he hears the word "donut," but in this song he says "donut" instead of "you know what" several times.
