BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO
(learned in the 1950s at folksinging parties; an old favorite)
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true
I'm half crazy over 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'm not crazy over the love of you
If you can't afford a carriage
Call off this silly marriage
For I'll be damned if i'll be crammed
On a bicycle built for two.
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
