En este caso, en el programa Rainbow Quest número 5, la espléndida cantante folk Jean Ritchie y Pete Seeger entonan la famosa Jenny Jenkins, canción en la que el chico pregunta a la dama si llevará un vestido de determinado color a la fiesta. Ella tiene que contestar no con una rima referente al color. Es uno de esos juegos corteses de ingenio con los que se perseguían dos fines: ligar, y comprobar la capacidad del amado o la amada.
Creo que es una canción pegadiza, y con bastante buen humor. El estribillo es prácticamente imposible para los no-angloparlantes, pero no cejo en mi enpeño de aprenderlo. Espero que os guste :)
Will you wear red, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear red, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear red, it's the colour of my head
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy, tildy-toldy
Seek-a-double, use-a-cozza roll a-binding
Roll, Jenny Jenkins, roll
Will you wear blue, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear blue, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear blue, For the color's not true
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy...
Will you wear green, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear green, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear green, It's a shame to be seen
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy...
Will you wear yellow, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear yellow, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear yellow, For I'd never get a fellow
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy...
Will you wear purple, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear purple, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear purple, 'cause I'll look like a turtle
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy...
Will you wear orange, my dear, oh my dear, Will you wear orange, Jenny Jenkins?
No... I won't wear orange, 'cause it's too strange
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy...
What will you wear? my dear, oh my dear, What will you wear, Jenny Jenkins?
Well.... I'll just go bare, with a ribbon in my hair.
