Thread Name: Lyr Req: Daisy Bell (and parodies)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Daisy Bell (and parodies)
I learned the "For I'll be damned if I'll be crammed" line as a boy. I suspect that the "For I'll be switched if I'll be hitched" line is the more "socially acceptable" version.
I have a recording (given to me by a friend - I don't recall anything about it, such as who the singer is) of a song that may have been from the period when Daisy Bell was popular. In it, the singer laments that he hears the song everywhere he goes. Part of the chorus:
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do" Sure that's the tune that drives me mad the whole day through
