Kermit: Everybody's Favorite Frog

What's green, fuzzy and loved the world over? Kermit the Frog! His calm under pressure as Sesame Street News reporter and later host for The Muppet Show make him an icon for the mellow. His biggest moments of panic tend to come when he tries to escape the clutches of the amorous Miss Piggy. Let's take a stroll through Kermit's life and his numerous incarnations as singer, movie star, TV host and more.

Kermit has a new "Going Green" line from the Disney Store. Shirts and other items are featured below. Check it out!!

It's Not Easy Being Green 

This iconic song is one of the major reasons I love Kermit. Coming to terms with who you are and learning to love yourself as is - quite the challenge.

It's Not Easy Being Green: Lyrics 

Lyrics by Joe Rapposo

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

Rainbow Connection

Rainbow Connection Lyrics 

Written by Paul Williams and used by Kermit the Frog, of The Muppets, Jim Henson Productions

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

I love the muppets. Here's a quote from the book "It's Not Easy Being Green": "[Jim Henson] changed our lives. He changed the world. And we'll continue his work, because that's how inspiration operates. People die, but inspiration lives and grows. Inspired by his gentleness, we'll fill the world with gentleness. Inspired by his vision, we'll fill the world with vision. Inspired by his chicken imitation, we'll fill the world with laughter." Great lens!

Great lens. Kermit was always one of my favorite Muppets. I used the tag line "it's not easy being green" for the longest time. One of my fave songs is the Rainbow Connection.
