paul gordon - fool-hearted girl lyrics

Loading...

[jerusha abbott]
daddy, daddy, what do you think?
the postman has just come
first, my story is accepted
fifty dollars!
a la! i’m an author!

i feel like i’m becoming somebody now
a proper person
second
a letter from the college secretary
i’m to have a scholarship for two years
that will cover board and tuition

daddy, now i won’t be such a burden
i’ll have all the money i need

[jervis pendleton]
it’s out of the question!

[jerusha abbott]
what do you mean
i shouldn’t accept?
mr girl hater
i don’t understand you at all
and i never will

you are so completely tenacious
tough and bull-headed
i’ve got news for you
you can make a fuss if you want to
but i refuse to give up what i’ve earned
no!
bridges may be burned!

[jervis pendleton]
miss abbott!

[jerusha abbott]
dear daddy long legs
i will not be treated like an item you own

and you can tell your secretary man
that if you say one thing more
i won’t accept the monthly allowance either
but will wear myself into a nervous wreck
tutoring stupid freshmen
yours with a mind completely and irrevocably and world-without-end made up

now, daddy, i must sleep
but i will think of you
please, daddy, let me do what a fool-hearted girl
must do

[jervis pendleton]
a perfectly awful day
i just received your letter
i’m ashamed of my irrational behaviour
a perfectly awful day
but look at it from my side
your dependence is all i can depend on

please, jerusha abbott
you’ll know the truth in the end

yours
jervis- daddy-
pendleton long legs smith
who writes another letter than he will not send
and whose cowardly behaviour is becoming a trend
