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, 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 (oh yeah)
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big, big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree
And when green is all there is to be
It could make you, make you wonder why
But why wonder, why?
I am green and it'll do, it'll do fine
And it's what I want to be
Green is the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
Green can be big like an ocean (ocean)
Important like a mountain or tall like a tree
And when green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why, why wonder why?
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And it's what I want to be
Listen to me
I am green and it'll do fine
And I think it's what I want to be
I am green and it'll do fine
And it's that I don't want to be blue
I just wanna be what I want to be
