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's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like

And green can be big like a mountain
Or important like a river 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'm green and it'll do fine

It's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be
