Lyrics
Sweet are the pleasures that money cannot buy
But they're far sweeter still if your bank account is high
You need money to live, you need money to die
And only a fool would scoff and decry
And try to deny the importance of money
Long Daddy Green is an old, old friend
He hangs around the rainbow's end
A dealer in dreams, whispering 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 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
He'll show you the sun, then he'll grab it and run
You 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
You sure know how to treat your friends mean
Long Daddy Green
