Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I’m in a corps that’s stood before The King for half a day
I’m the pet of all the slavies, and I’m very pleased to say
They all throw kisses mixed with smiles, to get me on the “dot”
But there’s one called Daisy, she’s the dearest Daisy of the lot
Chorus:
She is ma Daisy! ma bonnie Daisy!
She’s as sweet as sugar candy, and she’s very fond of Sandy
And I weary, for ma dearie
I would rather lose ma whip than lose ma Daisy!
- On payday when we get our pay, I buy her choc’late cream
Then I go and spend the rest along, with the boys in the canteen
And when the guard comes ‘roond at closing time to put us oot
By that time we’re half tipsy, and you ought to hear me shout - I often think I’d like a change, so one night I went oot
And met a nice fat cook, while I was wandring round aboot
I kissed her on the nose, and then I kissed her on the cheeks
But it’s not like kissing Daisy, I can taste her face for weeks
