You'll have to give me a little more than that.

Do you recall ANY of the lyrics- any 3 words together or SOMETHING?

Is this what you are looking for?

From "The Sesame Street Book and Record". 'Green' is ©1970 Jonico Music, Inc.

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 ord'nary 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.

From your description, this is it:

I know a tropical island

Where the Mango moon and Banana sun shine

And on this tropical island

There lives a cousin of mine

Sometimes he lives in the water

Sometimes he lives on the land

Sometimes he likes to go sun himself

On soft Caribbean sand

He's a Caribbean Amphibian

He likes to hop in the tropical sea

Caribbean Amphibian

A frog in a coconut tree

The flying fish and the turtles

They've seen him hop where the pineapple grows

He likes to see all the islands

So, island-hopping he goes

Sometimes he hops to Jamaica

Sometimes to Haiti he hops

Sometimes a warm Puerto Rican beach

Is where he finally stops

He's a Caribbean Amphibian

He likes to hop in the tropical sea

Caribbean Amphibian

A frog in a coconut tree

Sometimes he lives in the water

Sometimes he lives on the land

Sometimes he likes to play music in

An all-amphibian band

He's a Caribbean Amphibian

He likes to hop in the tropical sea

Caribbean Amphibian

A frog in a coconut tree

Everybody!

He's a Caribbean Amphibian

He likes to hop in the tropical sea

Caribbean Amphibian

A frog in a coconut tree

A frog in the coconut tree

Ribbet Ribbet!

overall it is comforting to me to see this (as with so many discussions here) because I was led to believe by twi that the Muppets, Jim Henson, Sesame Street were ~~~~seed of the serpent~~~~~ and oh so dangerous.

Thanks so much for helping to restore a measure of sanity.

Cute song! And ain't that just like humans, to pick apart a silly and fun song instead of just enjoying it and singing along!

[topoftheworld]

I remember how sad I was when Jim Henson died.

It was also the same time Sammy Davis Jr died, and I recall imagining Sammy's chagrin at sharing the cover of People magazine with a green frog. Then I decided he would probably nod approvingly, humming "It ain't easy being green, right, Kermit?"

[likeaneagle]

Its the fun of the song I enjoy..surely has a twist...

LikeAnEagle -- so it was the Chris Rice cartoon song you meant. :B)

That song started a buncha controversy up here also (Bullinger), on the Christian airwaves.

The main station up here played it for a few days thinking it a funny light-hearted song.

They got a lot of calls requesting it, and also got a lot of calls against it.

Seems some Christians were too busy being *holier than thou*, and were offended.

They called the station de-crying the *profanation* of the *Gospel*.

Others called in and said we need *levity* like this --- keep it coming.

Fortunately -- these folks were the ones listened to by the station.

It's a novelty song, and was never meant to be more than that.

It's been a while since I've heard it on the air --

I might request it tomorrow!
