Double Red Daisies

Topics: classic

Double red daisies, they're my flowers,     Which nobody else may grow.     In a big quarrelsome house like ours     They try it sometimes, but no,     I root them up because they're my flowers,     Which nobody else may grow.     Claire has a tea-rose, but she didn't plant it;     Ben has an iris, but I don't want it.     Daisies, double red daisies for me,     The beautifulest flowers in the garden.     Double red daisy, that's my mark:     I paint it in all my books!     It's carved high up on the beech-tree bark,     How neat and lovely it looks!     So don't forget that it's my trade mark;     Don't copy it in your books.     Claire has a tea-rose, but she didn't plant it;     Ben has an iris, but I don't want it.     Daisies, double red daisies for me,     The beautifulest flowers in the garden.
