It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the
color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful
like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so
many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy
sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green is the color of Spring
And green can be cool and
friendly-like
And green can be big like an
ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to
be
<instrumental>
And green can be big like an
ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to
be
