Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When option prices start to move around
There's a Greek that shows what can be found
Delta measures how the price will change
When the stock moves up within its range
For every dollar that the stock will climb
Delta tells you profit every time

[Chorus]
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma shows how delta's gonna be
Delta for the price, Gamma for the change
Greeks will help you hedge and rearrange
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma keeps delta in harmony

[Verse 2]
Call options have a delta positive side
Put options make the delta negative ride
From zero up to one for calls so bright
From negative one to zero for put's flight
Higher delta means more price connection
Lower delta shows less price reflection

[Chorus]
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma shows how delta's gonna be
Delta for the price, Gamma for the change
Greeks will help you hedge and rearrange
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma keeps delta in harmony

[Verse 3]
But delta's not a constant, it will shift
Gamma measures delta's upward drift
When gamma's high, delta moves around
When gamma's low, delta's more stable ground
At the money, gamma peaks so high
In the money, out the money, gamma's shy

[Chorus]
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma shows how delta's gonna be
Delta for the price, Gamma for the change
Greeks will help you hedge and rearrange
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma keeps delta in harmony

[Bridge]
Delta neutral hedging is the way
Match your deltas, keep the risk at bay
But gamma risk will make your hedge decay
Rebalance often through the trading day

[Chorus]
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma shows how delta's gonna be
Delta for the price, Gamma for the change
Greeks will help you hedge and rearrange
Delta shows the price sensitivity
Gamma keeps delta in harmony

[Outro]
Price moves up, price moves down
Delta and gamma keep you safe and sound
