“Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)” was written in 1892 by Harry Dacre. It’s claimed that the song was inspired by Daisy Greville, one of many mistresses of King Edward VI.

[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 upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
[Verse 1]
There is a flower within my heart
Daisy, Daisy
Planted one day by a glancing dart
Planted by Daisy Bell
[Verse 2]
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 upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
[Verse 3]
We will go tandem as man and wife
Daisy, Daisy
Pedaling away down the road of life
I and my Daisy Bell
[Verse 4]
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]
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 built for two
