[Greetings! Kermit the Frog here, and today I'd like to tell you a little bit about the color green. Do you know what's green? [cue music] Well I am for one thing. You see, frogs are green, and I'm a frog. And that means I'm green, you see?]


 Bb
It's not that easy bein' green
Bb/A                        D7
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
     G                   Cm                   F7
When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold
                          Bb
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


                G#                    Db
But green's the color of Spring
Bb               Bb/A
And green can be cool and friendly-like
                   D7
And green can be big like an ocean
               G
Or important like a mountain
      Cm              F7   Bb
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
