It's Not Easy Being Green

An hour of music with Dennis Mac Namara

I love this set by Dennis Mac Namara (aka DennyMac in SL) who began his set with Kermit the frog’s hit song, “Being Green” (see the lyrics below). The rest of his set was equally engaging and fun, but for the Ukrainian kids listening to the live stream, Kermit was the hit of the show. Denny was singing for Victoria, Vova, and Makar.

Thank you for the fabulous set Denny!

It's not that easy being 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 being 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.
