“It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green”
Lyrics by Joe Rapposo
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 being’ green.
It seems you blend with so many other ordinary
things
And people tend to pass you by 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.
