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
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
