Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 40
DAISY BELL.
Copyright, 1892, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Written and Composed by Harry Dacre.
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.
Chorus.
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 on the seat of a bicycle built for two.
We will go "tandem" as man and wife, Daisy, Daisy!
"Ped'ling" away down the road of life, I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark we can both despise policemen and "lamps" as well:
There are "bright lights "in the dazzling eyes of beautiful Daisy Bell.- Chorus
I will stand by you in "wheel" or woe, 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.-Chorus.
