Daisy Bell (Piano Solo)

Описание: Today I'm playing the classic song "Daisy Bell" by the British songwriter Harry Dacre (1857-1922). With a catchy melody and a charming text full of double-entendres, Daisy Bell was destined to be a classic of the music hall. It quickly became a hit after its publication in 1892, and was first recorded on wax cylinder as early as 1894. Half a century later, Daisy Bell would be the first song sung by a computer, when it was used as first demonstration of computerised speech synthesis by Bell Labs in 1961.

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 to share the lot
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

(Chorus:)
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 on the seat
On a bicycle built for two!

We will go "tandem" as man and wife, Daisy, Daisy!
"Ped'ling" away down the road of life, I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark we can both despise P'liceman and "lamps" as well;
There are "bright lights" in the dazzling eyes Of beautiful Daisy Bell!
(Chorus)

I will stand by you in "wheel" or woe, Daisy, Daisy!
You'll be the bell(e) which I'll ring you know! Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You'll take the "lead" in each "trip" we take, Then if I don't do well;
I will permit you to use the brake, My beautiful Daisy Bell!
(Chorus)
