Daddy Long Legs Cast - She Thinks I'm Old lyrics

Somewhat amusing A semblance of style Certainly better than many a letter I've read in a while But what makes me chuckle Lo and behold She thinks I'm old And crusty too Perhaps and cold She thinks I'm old A misconceit has taken hold Good punctuation The humor is quaint And reading her prose I suppose is more fun Then say watching the drying of paint But it's sort of funny In its own sort of way She thinks I'm grey Why she thinks so I can't say She thinks I'm grey And no doubt withering away But I made it clear my obligation Does not include communication A girl could lead to aggravation Boys never question their patron's appearance They'd never consider such gross interference Boys are less trouble in my estimation My appearance should mean as little to her As hers to me Is she fair or dark? Fat or thin? Short or tall? I've no idea and no wish to know What does it matter? She has a brain That's what matters A brain and a wit and a fearless turn of phrase This girl deserves her chance A good education Is all that she'll need Then she'll go on to write A triumphant first novel The great Liberaty will read She'll be the crème de le crème The talk of the town A prominent author of world renown While I look on from the side Glowing with pride Knowing how it all began Content to remain in the shadows A girl-hating grey old man
