"Red, Orange, Yellow" is a song from "The Factory" performed by Gumball, Darwin, and several Rainbow Factory workers, first when Gumball and Darwin discover what rainbows are made of, and a shorter one after they save the factory.
Lyrics
Gumball: Let's find out how they put these magic colors in the sky!
Darwin: With unicorns and pixies, candy cane and apple pie!
Gumball: I used to think that they were caused by how the light refracts.
Darwin: But now I'm sure it's magical so who we gonna ask?
Gumball and Darwin: Hey! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet!
Darwin: Hello, friend! Now, tell me, are you elf or are you gnome?
Blue Elephant: Neither, kid. The lack of daylight stunted every bone.
Gumball: And is this color made from lemonade and fairy dust?
Blue Elephant: It's gasoline and arsenic, and latex, lead, and rust.
Gumball and Darwin: Hey! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet!
Darwin: I must admit that guy back there did not fill me with magic...
Gumball: In fact he made it sound as if his job was pretty tragic...
Darwin: But look, there's elves on tricycles and fountains of molasses!
Gumball: Unless it's a hallucination caused by toxic gases.
Darwin: [delirious] Led, lorry, lellow, greeny, bluedigo, and violet!
Leonard Daniels: Well, I don't mind, it's not that bad, this job still has its perks.
Like for example, uh, [sighs]
Dark teal construction man: Careful, Len, mind what you say, you know the walls have ears!
Don't wanna end up stuck all night like poor old Mr. Frears!
Darwin: Where are all the roly-poly imps in dungarees?
Gumball: Instead it's tears and bitterness, and awful salaries.
Darwin: We thought it would be full of fun, and colorful rainbows.
Gumball: Instead it's gross and gray, and let's be honest, it just blows.
Reprise
Rainbow Factory workers: [throwing Gumball and Darwin in the air] We kept our jobs, although we're slobs, the factory's not ablaze
Ten more days vacation and we even got a raise
We skirted unemployment and a future on the skids
Thanks to Mrs. Watterson and her two weirdo kids!
La la la la la la la la la la la la, hey!
