Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for my master and one for my dame,
One for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes sir, three bags full.
Repeat with: Green sheep, Red sheep, Blue sheep, etc.

I used Can Teach's rhyme as inspiration but changed a lot of the elements to things that kids would more readily recognize.
