Bein’ Green

performed by Kermit the Frog, written by Joe Raposo

It’s not that easy being green

Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold

Or something much more colourful like that

It’s not that 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 colour 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

Being Green
