Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae |
|
Lazy Daisy Mae |
|
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming |
|
At times alarming, so they say |
|
She has a man who's *talldarkhandsome*, large and strong |
|
To whom she used to sing this song |
|
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything |
|
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me |
|
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables? |
|
Clothes with Paris labels? |
|
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me |
|
Here's *'n'amazing* revelation |
|
With a bit of stimulation |
|
I'd be a great sensation |
|
I'd be your inspiration |
|
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar |
|
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me |
|

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *The words "tall, dark, handsome" are sung so quickly |

as to sound as one long word." Likewise, "an amazing" are jammed together.* |
