Are you talking about Reading Rainbow?
Butterfly in the sky,
I can go twice as high,
Take a look,
It's in a book,
A reading rainbow...
That's all I know! Hope that was what you were looking for! :)

America's "Reading Rainbow" and the UK's "Rainbow TV" are two very
different shows...

This isn't it, but thanks for trying........ the one I'm thinking of had
charcaters called Bungle and Zippy and Geoffrey, and the last line was
"something the whole world with a rainbow!" ("something" could be "paint" -
not sure)
Mr.P. Baigel
Up above the streets and houses
Rainbow flying high
everyone can see the rainbow
over the sky
paint the whole world with a ...Rainbow
regards
Philip (and geoffrey, bongle, zippy and george!)

Here goes...
Up above the streets and houses
Rainbow climbing high
Everyone can see it smiling
Over the sky
Paint...the...whole..world...with...a..rainbow !
That's all there was to it, I think

I don't even remember the programme - but I'll consult my friends.

"Rainbow, colours changing ever changing
my whole world is covered in swirling paislies
there's a bear and a wierd animal with a zip on
his mouth, I'll never buy those green dots again"
By the way, did you know that "Geoffrey" is now
working in a DIY store in Blackpool? FACT
Serves him right too. Wanker.
