Lyrics of old-time classic : Daisy, Daisy

[a***@gmail.com]

Hi
Daisy, Daisy.
Daisy, Daisy
I am half crazy
.....
On a bicycle built for two
.... or something like that.
Is there some Web site where I can find the lyrics for that song,
or is there some kind soul who could e-mail me the lyrics (even
incomplete will be most helpful!).
THANKS

Dais

This reply seems to have been aborted, and I can't retrieve the original
posting. However: The name of the song is "Daisy Bell, or a Bicycle
Made for Two", and it is by Harry Dacre.

[Abby Sale]

I glad that's finally answered. We always called it "A Bicycle Built for
Two."

Sheet music at http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/catalog/levy:140.090 Good
song. Catchy.

More important, I wonder why the 1996 poster called himself
"Anthropopitecus Neanderthalis." (Should be an H there - ..pithecus.)
That's two completely different creatures. That is, if there is any
specific guy called anthropopithecus. I don't believe there was. It
would be someone in the hominid line, some millennia earlier than
pithecanthropus (ape-like man).

There's a voice from the past!

As a kid I learnt a second "verse" (I didn't know the song had actual
verses).

Daisy, Daisy, the cops'll be after you,
If they catch you, they'll give you a month or two,
They'll tie you up with wire
Inside a Black Maria
So ring your bell and peddle like Hell
On your bicycle built for two.

That is, actually, a second refrain.

The song has been extensively parodied. Another one is

Maxie, Maxie, here is your answer true:
I'm not crazy enough for the likes of you.
If you can't afford a carriage,
There won't be any marriage,
'Cause I'll be switched if I'll be hitched*
On a bicycle built for two.

*Naughty people made it "I'll be damned if I'll be crammed".

Yep - I'd forgotten about them. Kinda begs for bawdy parodies, don't it?
The Hash House Harriers have a few.

I'll be durned and so forth.

The original post by Anthropopitecus Neanderthalis was, in fact, posted
here in 1996. I actually saved the thread back then and amazingly (to me)
still have it.

Several people posted parodies, some quite unrespectable. Joe posted the
same one as below. I'm glad to see it again. It's still a useful song for
parodising.

2nd verse
Michael Michael this is my answer true I'd be crazy to ever marry you if you can't get a carriage their won't be any marriage because you'll be ditched before I get hitched on a bicycle made for 2
This is the British version I grew up singing.

Bicyle Built for Two
Daisy, Daisy give me your answer true, I'm half crazy with my love for you, It won't be a stylish marriage, for I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a 'Bicyle Built for Two'.

Jimmy, Jimmy, here is my answer true, you're half crazy if you'll think I'll marry you, if you can't afford a carriage, you can't afford a marriage. And I'll be damned if I'll be crammed on a 'Bicyle Built for Two'.

This is how I learned it.

And at football matches I remember as a kid we used to sing the version ...
Daisy, Daisy, the coppers are after you,
If they catch you
They’ll give you a bump or two.
They’ll tie you up with wire
Behind the Black Mariah (= police van)
So ring your bell
And peddle like hell
On a bicycle made for two.

Michael, Michael, here is your answer true
You're half crazy if you think that will do
If you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage
For I'll be switched b'fore I get hitched on a bicycle built for two
