Bein' Green Songtext
von Willie Jones

It′s not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the trees
When I think it could be so much easier being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
Like that
Like that

It's not that easy being green
It seems you blend in with ordinary things
And people seem to pass you over, over, over
′Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
The water, sparkle in the water, the water
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or stars in the sky
Stars in the sky, in the sky

Oh, but green's the color of spring
And green can be cool or friendly like that
Like that


And I know green can be big like the ocean
Or tall like a tree
Bearing fruit, a tree

When green is all there is to be
Well, it could make you wonder why
But why wonder?
Why wonder?
Why wonder?
I′m green and it′ll do fine
Because it is beautiful
And that's just what I want to be
Real green, yeah, yeah
Real green, yeah, yeah

Oh, green′s the color of spring
Ha, and oh yes, green can be cool or friendly just like me

Like the ocean, ocean
Or tall like a tree planted by the river bearing fruit, ha
Bearing fruit
Oh, when green is all there is to be
But why wonder?
Why wonder?
Why wonder?


Why wonder?
I'm green and that′s cool
Because I am beautiful
And it's just what I want to be
Real green
