There's mazy misgiving upon my part,
Hazy, hazy,
Women, by WALTER M'LAREN'S art,
Muddle my "Mazy Bill."
Whether I love it or love it not,
Down I must gulp this pill.
She-suffrage complicates the plot,
Much, of my "Mazy Bill"!
_Chorus_--
Mazy! Mazy!
She-Voter, sit up, do!
I'm half crazy,
All with the weight of _you_!
You will not be robbed by marriage
Of a ride on this bi-wheeled carriage.
You look so sweet
(So you think) on the seat
Of a Bicycle built for Two!
We must go "tandem," like man and wife!--
Aisy! Aisy!--
Am I not working away for life,
Driving my "Mazy Bill"?
Taking _you_ up, as an extra load,
Taxes my strength and skill.
Rough and up-hill is the country road,
Run by the "Mazy Bill."
_Chorus_--
Lazy! Lazy!--
Spin like a "Scorcher"--_do_!
I'm half crazy
With the dead weight of you!
Spinster or bound in marriage,
You claim gratuitous carriage;
But--use your feet
If you _must_ have a seat,
On this Bicycle built for Two!
I must stand by you? Oh yes, _I_ know!
_They_ see, _they_ see,--
M'LAREN and STANSFELD, JESSE and JOE,--
I'm bound to my "Mazy Bill."
You'll take the lead, if I don't mistake.
Then, if you work your will,
Who will there be to put on the brake,
Working my "Mazy Bill"?
_Chorus_--
Hazy! Hazy!
Such is the country view!
Squires half crazy,
All for sheer dread of you!
Maidens or marred by marriage,
Your sex means claiming their carriage;
But, I feel dead beat
With your weight on the seat
Of this Bicycle--built for Two!
