It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day
the color of the leaves
When you could be something
so much nicer
Like red or yellow
Aquamarine or something
more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in
with all kinds of ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool
and friendly like
Green can be big like a mountain
Important like a river
Or tall like a tree
When green is all that you can be
It sort of makes you wonder why
Why wonder why wonder
why wonder
I am green
and that'll do just fine
Besides it's all I want to be
Green's the color of spring
Yeah and green is cool
and friendly like
And green can be big
like a mountain
Important like a river
Or tall like a tree
When green is all that you can be
It sort of makes you wonder why
Why wonder why wonder
I'm green and I think
it's beautiful
And besides
that's all I want to be
