Long Daddy Green is an old old friend
He hangs around the rainbows end
Dealing out dreams
From a pot full of fortune and fame
Fanning the flame
Hear him calling your name

Long Daddy Green is a fly-by-night
You turn around, he's out of sight
Seems he's your fair-weather friend
And your foul weather foe
The wind starts to blow
Daddy Green starts to blow

The lies he tells aren't new to you
You're not naive
You know he won't be true to you
Still you believe, you believe

Long Daddy Green chops you down to size
With slow hellos and fast goodbyes
He comes around
When you feel about ten feet tall
To make you feel small
Just like nothing at all

Long Daddy Green is a heartless host
Ignores you when you need him most
Likes to pretend he's a hard to get next to guy
He'll give you the eye
While he's waving goodbye

Long Daddy Green likes to hypnotize
And melt you with his magic eyes
Knows he can make you believe
You're the only one
And show you the sun
Then he'll grab it and run

You'll try to tug his sleeve one day
Your hopes are high
He'll turn around and walk away
But still you try
Still you try

Long Daddy Green likes to disappear
Pretend that he is nowhere near
Then he'll come tap at your window
And scratch at your screen
He sure can be mean
Long Daddy Green
He sure can be mean
Long Daddy Green!
