Envy of Broccoli Lyrics

It isn't easy being green

In a garden full of color and sheen

I'm just a stalk standing tall

Watching flowers bloom and trees grow so small

Oh the envy of broccoli so hard to bear

With leaves so leafy but nothing to wear

Just a humble green with a tiny crown

Longing for colors that never come down

The carrots they glow with a fiery hue

The tomatoes are blushing a bright bold view

Even the peppers flash reds and gold

While I'm stuck in the shadows quiet and cold

Oh the envy of broccoli so hard to bear

With leaves so leafy but nothing to wear

Just a humble green with a tiny crown

Longing for colors that never come down

The carrots they glow with a fiery hue

The tomatoes are blushing a bright bold view

Even the peppers flash reds and gold

While I'm stuck in the shadows quiet and cold

Oh the envy of broccoli so hard to bear

With leaves so leafy but nothing to wear

Just a humble green with a tiny crown

Longing for colors that never come down

Maybe one day they'll see past my shade

See the strength and the vitamins made

But till then I'll just sway in the breeze

A green in a world full of reds and of leaves

Oh the envy of broccoli so hard to bear

With leaves so leafy but nothing to wear

Just a humble green with a tiny crown

Longing for colors that never come down

So I'll stay here simple and plain

A broccoli with dreams that never quite wane

For it isn't easy no it's not easy being green

In a garden so vivid it feels like a dream
