Sitting in the back yard in broad daylight 
When everything around me seems to spend once or twice 
Days when I acted like a fool 
Days when I broke every rule 
Tell me How long? 
Are you wasting my time going mind to mind 
Tell me How long? 
Are you wasting my time going mind to mind  yeah 
Little Jack Horner sitting in the corner looks real sad 
When everything around him really makes him mad 
Days when he acted like a fool 
Days when he broke every rule
Tell me

Walking the street at a cool cool night 
Looking around it's all full of fright 
I never thought I could be so strong 
I'm shaking just like I've never seen the light

Tell me How long! 

Look at us all standing on the shoulders 
Of the Jolly Green Giant 
"Is that my son up there?" my mom said 
"Is that my grandson up there?" my grandmama said 
Yeah it's me mom taking my time 
Yeah it's me mom riding the ride 
Look at me now, I'm King Kong 
Look at me now, why don't you tell me, 
Tell me How long!
