I'm Looking For A Daddy Long Legs

Irving Berlin

    Continues after the ad

    [Verse:]
    I'm so worried, oh, so worried
    I can't sleep a wink at night
    I've lost my appetite
    And it's all on account of my height
    I'm a Yankee, long and lanky
    And that's where the trouble lies
    For a little lovin' my heart cries
    But I can't find a man my size

    [Refrain:]
    I'm looking for a daddy long legs
    Who's gonna measure up to me
    A little fellow has the wrong legs
    To have me sitting on his knee

    Continues after the ad

    I had a sweetheart short and thin
    And when the spooning would begin
    He was there standing on a chair
    But he'd only get as far as my chin

    I want a daddy who can teach me
    The kind of love I can't resist
    I want a daddy who can reach me
    When I get ready to be kissed

    I want a nice young man to woo me
    But I don't want a man that has to climb up to me
    It's gonna take a daddy long legs
    To love a long-legged lady like me
