Andrew Bird - It's not easy being green (Studio version, The Muppets)

Andrew Bird - It's not easy being green (Kermit the Frog cover) :)

Lyrics:
It's not easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When you could be something so much nicer, like red, or yellow or aquamarine
Or something more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with all kinds of 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

Green is the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an mountain, important like a river, or tall like a tree

Green is al that you can be
It sort of makes you wonder why, why wonder, why wonder, why wonder I am green and that'll do just fine, besides it's all i want to be

And green can be big like an mountain, important like a river, or tall like a tree

Green is al that you can be
It sort of makes you wonder why, why wonder, why wonder, I am green and I think it's beautiful, besides that's all i want to be.

It's not easy being green. Some of us know that better than others. And, though singer, fiddler and whistler Andrew Bird knows that this is Kermit's song to own, he decided to tackle it in a way that only Bird could, as part of a charming Muppets tribute record called The Green Album (release in august 2011).

What does this top comment mean exactly? I say this version of Being Green is PERFECTION! Because the Bird is perfection.

Remember when the top comment was "Try being black" and not this stupid comment? Pepperfridge's Farms Remember.
