BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO
(learned in the 1950s at folksinging parties; an old favorite)
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true
Michael, Michael, here is your answer true
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
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.
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.
