[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 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
