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            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
