[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
It's not that easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many 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

[Bridge]
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
Green can be big like an ocean or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree

[Verse 3]
When green is all therе is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wondеr, why wonder?
I'm green and that'll do fine
And I think it's what I want to be

[Soprano Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
It can be big like an ocean or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree

[Verse 3]
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
I'm green and that'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
