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
