There is a flower within my heartDaisy, DaisyPlanted one day by a glancing dartPlanted by Daisy Bell

Whether she loves me or loves me notSometimes it's hard to tellYet I am longing to share the lotOf beautiful Daisy Bell

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer doI'm half crazy all for the love of youIt won't be a stylish marriageI can't afford a carriageBut you'll look sweet upon the seatOf a bicycle built for two

We will go 'tandem' as man and wifeDaisy, DaisyPed'ling away down the road of lifeI and my Daisy Bell

When the road's dark, we can both despisePolicemen and lamps as wellThere are bright lights in the dazzling eyesOf beautiful Daisy Bell

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer doI'm half crazy all for the love of youIt won't be a stylish marriageI can't afford a carriageBut you'll look sweet upon the seatOf a bicycle built for two

I will stand by you in "wheel" or woeDaisy, DaisyYou'll be the bell(e) which I'll ring you knowSweet little Daisy Bell

You'll take the lead in each trip we takeThen if I don't do wellI will permit you to use the brakeMy beautiful Daisy Bell

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer doI'm half crazy all for the love of youIt won't be a stylish marriageI can't afford a carriageBut you'll look sweet upon the seatOf a bicycle built for two
