I've been thinking about you a great deal

Having someone take an interest in me after all these years

Well

I feel like I belong to somebody now

A kind of family

I feel like I belong to somebody now

A guiding hand

A soul who takes an interest in my welfare

A friend who takes an interest in my life

I feel like I belong to somebody now

A kind of angel

I feel like I belong to something more

Than just a school

But when I think of you

I know so little

I can only think of three things

You're tall you're rich and you hate girls

I guess I could call you

Mr Girl Hater

Mr Girl Hater

But that's too insulting

To me

It would never do

Or I could call you

Dear Mr Rich Man

Thanks Mr Rich Man

But that's too insulting

To you

And you might not be rich for that much longer

But I'm pretty sure you'll stay tall

So I'll call you

Dear daddy long legs

Old daddy long legs

I'll keep calling you

I hope you don't mind

Daddy long legs

It's just a pet name

We won't tell a soul no

The bell sounds I must go

Yours

Jerusha Abbott

Whose education is underwritten

By a man I lovingly call

Mr Hitching post

Clothes pole

Daddy long legs

Smith

We have to do something about that name daddy
