IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN
Joe Raposo
sung by Kermit


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 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.

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.

    Look at them
    And look at us
    One is Francine
    One is Gus
    Lots of people
    Think they're boring
    But we don't
    Not us

    He is gray
    And so is she
    You like pigeons
    Just like me
    Lots of people
    Think we're silly
    But I don't
    Not me

    We go for the same kind
    Of music
    Any old rousing march
    Will do

    We both like the same
    Kind of oatmeal
    It's no good without
    A lump or two

    Watch them soar
    Up to the sky
    They are flying
    So am I

    Lots of people
    Just don't understand
    But you do
    And so
    Do
    I

    You like oatmeal
    I do too
    You like paperclips
    Me too!
    You play checkers
    I do too
    You like me
    And I
    Like
    You

    Around
    Around
    Around
    Around
    Over, Under, and Through

    Around
    Around
    Around
    Around
    Over, Under, and Through

    Near!
    Far!
    Near!
    Far!

    Around
    Around
    Around
    Around
    Over, Under and Through
