The Adv.ui ~ 'Uai Bell"
one of the latest hits OF to-day IS a
rather peculiar English music-hall song
called DAISY Bell which was brought
over by Tony Pastor and the first sung in
Chicago by him last spring. Since then It
has been sung by half the serio-
comics that have visited the city. The
man who wrote It certainly had wheels
I'm his head, as the humor CD OF the com
position IS chiefly Ia It's puns on cycling
But the air is very pretty and the chorus
especially catchy. Here 1t is:
There is a flower within my heart Daisy
Daisy
Planted one day by a glancing dart
planted by Daisy Bell
Whether she loves me. or loves me not,
sometimes It's hard to tell;
Yet I am longing 70 share the lot Of
beautiful Daisy Bell.
We viii go in tandem as man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy
Polling away down the road OF life,
and my Daisy Bell.
when the roads dark we can both de-
spise p'licemen and lamps as well;
There are bright lights'-in the dazzling
eyes Of beautiful Daisy Bell.
III stand by you in wheel" or woe,
Daisy, Daisy,
You'll be the BELL (e)" which I will ring,
you know. sweet little Daisy Bell.
You'll take the lead i'm each "trip" we
take then II 1 don't do well
I'll permit you TO use the brake my beau
tfm Daisy Ben.
CHORUS.
Daisy. Daisy. give me your answer truel
I'm half crazy, all for the love Of you!
1t won't be a stylish marriage-I can't
afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet. on the seat Of
bicycle built for two.
