I	A
	-
Once Mr Daddy Long legs	B
Dressed in brown and gray	C
Walked about upon the sands	D
Upon a sumer's day	C
And there among the pebbles	E
When the wind was rather cold	F
He met with Mr Floppy Fly	A
All dressed in blue and gold	F
And as it was too soon to dine	G
They drank some Periwinkle wine	G
And played an hour or two or more	H
At battlecock and shuttledore	H
	-
II	A
	-
Said Mr Daddy Long legs	B
To Mr Floppy Fly	A
'Why do you never come to court	I
I wish you'd tell me why	A
All gold and shine in dress so fine	G
You'd quite delight the court	I
Why do you never go at all	J
I really think you ought	K
And if you went you'd see such sights	L
Such rugs Such jugs and candle lights	L
And more than all the King and Queen	M
One in red and one in green '	-
	-
III	A
	-
'O Mr Daddy Long legs '	-
Said Mr Floppy Fly	A
'It's true I never go to court	I
And I will tell you why	A
If I had six long legs like yours	N
At once I'd go to court	I
But oh I can't because my legs	B
Are so extremely short	I
And I'm afraid the King and Queen	M
One in red and one in green	M
Would say aloud You are not fit	O
You Fly to come to court a bit '	-
	-
IV	-
	-
'O Mr Daddy Long legs '	-
Said Mr Floppy Fly	A
'I wish you'd sing one little song	P
One mumbian melody	Q
You used to sing so awful well	R
In former days gone by	A
But now you never sing at all	J
I wish you'd tell me why	A
For if you would the silvery sound	S
Would please the shrimps and cockles round	S
And all the crabs would gladly come	T
To hear you sing Ah hum di Hum '	-
	-
V	Q
	-
Said Mr Daddy Long legs	B
'I can never sing again	U
And if you wish I'll tell you why	A
Although it gives me pain	V
For years I cannot hum a bit	O
Or sing the smallest song	P
And this the dreadful reason is	W
My legs are grown too long	P
My six long legs all here and there	H
Oppress my bosom with despair	H
And if I stand or lie or sit	O
I cannot sing one little bit '	-
	-
VI	A
	-
So Mr Daddy Long legs	B
And Mr Floppy Fly	A
Sat down in silence by the sea	Q
And gazed upon the sky	A
They said 'This is a dreadful thing	X
The world has all gone wrong	P
Since one has legs too short by half	-
The other much too long	P
One never more can go to court	I
Because his legs have grown too short	I
The other cannot sing a song	P
Because his legs have grown too long '	-
