It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that, like that
It's not, it's not easy bein' green
You seem to blend in with so many ordinary everyday things
And people tend to pass you by
'Cause you're not standing out like sparkles in the water or stars in the sky
But green's 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, wonder why, wonder why
I am green it'll do, it'll do fine
It is what I want to be
Green is the color of spring, oh yeah
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 wonder why, but why why, wonder why
I am green it'll do, it'll do fine
And it's what I wanna be, listen to me
I am green it'll do fine
And it's, I don't wanna be blue
I just wanna be what I wanna be
