Lyrics:
So you wanna marry Daisy,
Yeah well good luck with that
You got about as much of a chance
Of licking the brim of my hat
She’s a purebred, her forehead’s
Worth about as much as your car
So let’s just say your little bouquet
Won’t get you very far
But slow down there slick
See my sleeves are full of tricks,
You just say the word and I’ll have you birds
Kissing at the Ritz
And my price? It’s nothing, it’s cookie crumbs
(More of a steal if you ask me)
In terms of conditions, my friend
I’ve only got three
Rule one: congratulations son,
You’ve been promoted to private eye
I want a page a week on every word she speaks
And brother, don’t ask why
Rule two: you see that window
Right above mademoiselle's boudoir?
Won’t you be a doll and unlock it?
I gotta make a quick withdrawal and a small deposit
And last but not least
(Listen up close kid, this one’s for your own good)
If that girl ever twirls her little brunette curls
And leans in close to say,
“Meet me under the magnolia tonight
if you wanna get a little crazy…”
Well you turn and run for the hills, straight and fast
Because crazy’s Daisy’s way of saying
You’ll end up laying on the wrong side of the grass
So you wanna marry Daisy,
Well that death wish don’t come free
But a wicked dream needs a wicked schemer
So thank heavens you met me
She’s got a two-ply, cream pie, uni degree
In stealing from suckers like you
She’s got a two-ply, cream pie, hard knocks degree
In feasting on suckers - on suckers like you

To me this always feels like a deal with a demon And being stuck between a rock and a hard place Cause you know you shouldn’t trust the demon But Daisy herself is also dangerous (sounds like a black widow to me) And you don’t know why this demon wants to know everything about Daisy But still very catchy, and going in a playlist for sure

[@nuzikk_nahzuzikk9556]

It sounds like a disney villain song! Love it!

[@FiddlerMcRiddler]

I’ve loved this song so much ever since it came out and I still think his music will get big someday

[@taraolawoye8179]

Will never stop being obsessed with this song.

[@ieatpie315]

To this day this song is the easiest way to make me sing and dance

[@szofiaosborne8007]

I get major Gatsby vibes from this song

[@natemartin6498]

This song gives me very similar vibes the friends on the other side from princess and the frog. A man offers everything, displays his own tricks, and asks a seemingly meaningless price. Only to bring them into a deal with the devil.

[@beany1229]

I use to love this song but I lost it and forgot about it when I deleted Amazon music so finding this song while I was listening to a yt mix made my night 😊

[@Bloopel720]

This got recommended to me on Spotify, this stuff kicks ass, good job man

[@OhsweetOhno]

I always think of Daisy as being dangerous because she's like.. a mafia don's daughter or smth (this is probably because I have a character I made named Irene who married into a mafia family). Like, she knows she's dangerous, she knows she can get away with it too because of who her father is- so she takes any chance she can get to have some fun a lead some poor soul to their early grave.

[@avabunny3228]

This song was the one to get me into your music, it was recommended to me by my theater playlist. I know you probably get this a lot, but you really are underrated! I absolutely love your music!

[@ManOfChicken06]

I've listened to this song so many times i cant even count

[@hollyjoestar8782]

Y'all should try listening it at 1.25X it sound really good

[@everydayintrovert]

forever obsessed with this song

[@someone-2255]

Still a masterpiece

[@ghstkitti]

[@daiseymaekremer7640]

My name is daisy 💀

[@ineednoni]

From where this is? It's so good, I need more

[@Why____Not]

I thought the same thing! It's actually an original song.

[@Screw.Hairy.Pothead.666]

This sounds like something Alastor would say to someone offering them a deal😂 if u watch Hazbin hotel u can hear it

[@WizardTiefling]

I imagine the singer being a young doctor facilier probably one of his early schemes fooling a youth his own age who desperate to for love to steal something that belong to one of loan from his crush
