"It's Not Easy Being Green"
(Kermit the Frog)

'Green' is (c)1970 Jonico Music, Inc.

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 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'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.

(lyrics by Joe Rapposo)
