    It's not that easy bein' green	  	  	  
    Having to spend each day the color of the leaves  
    When I think it could be nicer being 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 in 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 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
