It's not 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 standing 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
