Long daddy green is an old old friend
he hangs around the rainbow's 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 go;
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 ft tall,
to make you feel small,
like nothing at allLong 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
