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



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,



, Daddy,



You oughta get the best for me , la-dah!!



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.*
