Daddy Long-legs

In the last rays of the sun
A daddy long-legs flew
And though his life was nearly done
He felt as good as new
But to him it seemed a shame
That he'd soon disappear
Without one single claim to fame
To show that he'd been here
And so he drifted on the breeze
And he'd not gone too far
When he was sucked into the ventilator
Of a cinema

And there upon the silver screen
A dancing man appeared
In top hat, white tie, tails and cane
And everybody cheered
Then up into the beam of light
The daddy-long-legs flew
And on the silver screen his shadow
Started dancing too

Daddy long-legs
Dancing to the beat
Daddy long-legs
Two people, eight feet

As the man in tails tapped out each step
Daddy long-legs danced as well
Until somebody swatted him
And to the ground he fell
But as he lay there, fading fast
He said "What do I care?
I'm the only daddy long-legs
To have danced with Fred Astaire"

Chorus repeat to fade
