Bein' Green

It's not easy bein' green

Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

When you could be something so much nicer

Like red or yellow

Aquamarine or something more colorful like that

It's not easy bein' green

It seems you blend in with all kinds of 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

Green can be big like a mountain

Important like a river

Or tall like a tree

When green is all that you can be

It sort of makes you wonder why

Why wonder, why wonder, why wonder?

I am green, and that'll do just fine

Besides, it's all I want to be

Green's the color of spring

Yeah, and green is cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like a mountain

Important like a river

Or tall like a tree

When green is all that you can be

It sort of makes you wonder why

Why wonder, why wonder?

I'm green, and I think it's beautiful

And besides, that's all I want to be
