Daisy Bell

There is a flower
Within my heart,
Daisy, Daisy !
Planted one day
By a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell !
Whether she loves me
Or loves me not,
Sometimes it’s hard to tell ;
Yet I am longing to share the lot -
Of beautiful Daisy Bell !

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do !
I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you !
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

We will go ’tandem’
As man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy !
’Peddling’ away
Down the road of life,
I and my Daisy Bell !
When the road’s dark
We can both despise
P’licemen and ’lamps’ as well ;
There are ’bright lights’
In the dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell !

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do !
I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you !
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

I will stand by you
In ’weal’ or woe,
["weal" means prosperity] Daisy, Daisy !
You’ll be the bell(e)
Which I’ll ring you know !
Sweet little Daisy Bell !
You’ll take the ’lead’
In each ’trip’ we take,
Then if I don’t do well,
I will permit you to
Use the brake,
My beautiful Daisy Bell !
