Bein’ Green
[Intro: Tony Bennett & Kermit the Frog]
Hey, Kermit, you look a little sad today
Well, Tony, sometimes, I guess, I get a little more blue than green
Well, I think I have a song that can help you out (Oh, boy)
How 'bout this

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]
It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful than that

[Verse 2: Tony Bennett]
It's not easy bein' 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

[Verse 3: Tony Bennett & Kermit the Frog]
But green is 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 (Mhm)
It could make you wonder why (Yeah)
But why wonder why? (Yeah)
I am green, uh huh, it'll do fine, you know
It is beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be (Ah)
[Outro: Kermit the Frog & Tony Bennett]
Aw, that was beautiful, Tony, thank you
Ah-ah, hey, Tony (What?) I-I think tape is still rolling
Could we do a song together?
Oh, yeah, you know I love Ms. Piggy
Could we do one for Ms. Piggy?
Well, sure, I-I'm glad you love Ms. Piggy
Because it takes a lot of pressure off of me
Hahahahahahaha
