What Color Is Virtue?

Duke Ellington

[FEMALE SOLOIST (JOYA SHERRILL), spoken]
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Tulips are for kissing
And here's one for you
But...
What color is virtue?

(sung)
What color is love?
Give me a hint
As to what tint
Makes one compatible
What protective hue
Keeps me and you
So can't get-at-able?
What has color
Got to do with behavior?
Or when under fire
How brave you are?
What color is virtue
And what color is love?

[FEMALE SOLOIST (JOYA SHERRILL) & MEN]
What color is virtue?
What color is love?
Give me a hint
As to what tint
Makes one compatible
What protective hue
Keeps me and you
So can't get-at-able?
What has color
Got to do with behavior?
Or when under fire
How brave you are?
What color is virtue
And what color is love?

What color is virtue?
What color is love?
Give me a hint
As to what tint
Makes one compatible
What protective hue
Keeps me and you
So can't get-at-able?
What has color
Got to do with behavior?
Or when under fire
How brave you are?
What color is virtue
And what color is love?

[ENSEMBLE]
What color is virtue?
