Diana Ross - Bein' Green lyrics

One day, as I was walking through my garden
I saw a little frog lying on the ground
And I thought he was sick
So I picked him up and he wasn't
Sick at all he was very sad
And he was crying
And I said: What's a matter with you
Little frog? And he looked up at me with
A lump in his throat, and he said: wribbit!

It ain't easy being green
Having to spend each day the
Color of the leaves when I think
I think it would be nicer being red
Or yellow or gold

You see, it ain't easy being green
It seems to blend in with
So many other ordinary things
And then, sometimes
Sometimes people pass over you
Because you're not standing out like
Sparkles on the water
Or like the stars in the sky

But did you know that green
Is the color of Spring
And green can be big like an ocean
And important like a mountain
And cool and friendly-like
Or tall and skinny like a tree and me

But when green is all there is to be
It kind of makes you wonder why
Why wonder, wonder why?
Hey, I'm green and I think it'll do fine
'Cause green is just what I wanna be
'Cause green is beautiful, baby
Right on green and anyway, money's green

Wribbit
