Who Is This Man? Lyrics - Daddy Long Legs [original Off-broadway Cast Recording] - Daddy Long Legs Cast

[Jerusha Abbot]: 

Who is this man? 

Who has designed this uncommon plan 

To educate Jerusha 

However best he can 

How can this be? 

Who would take on this uncertainty 

To educate Jerusha 

Who in heavens name is he 

I guess I'll never know him 

I guess I'll never even learn his name 

These are his orders 

This is his game 

I guess I'll never know him 

You mustn't know your betters 

But he will know me in letters 

And though I might 

Thank him twice each and every night 

He will never answer 

No Mr. Smith will never write 

I guess I'll never know him 

Though I am rather curious to see 

What kind of man would educate me? 

I guess I'll never know him 

You mustn't know your betters 

But he will know me in letters 

This man will never write me 

I cannot outguess him 

So how should I address him?
