Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)



Hi Dr. Laura, 

I'm sure you've heard this old song, "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)". When I read the SECOND verse, which I wasn't aware of, I thought of you talking about how young women don't put as much effort in choosing a mate as animals do.  Not sure if this verse was added later, but it fits so well as Daisy's response to her suitor's first verse. - Gary 

Here it is: 

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. 

Michael, Michael, 
Here is your answer true. 
I'll not cycle Over the world with you. 
If you can't afford a carriage,
There won't be any marriage. 
'Cause I'll be switched, 
If I get hitched, On a bicycle built for two!
