It's not easy bein' green

It's not that easy being 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 that easy being 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 is the color of spring
And green can be so cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or important like a river
Or tall like a tree
(Like a tree, like a tree)

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder? Why?
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be

But green is the color of spring
And green can be so 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 am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And it's what I want to be
