Lyrics for Horsey Horsey Dont You Stop
Horsey horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety-clop
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound.
We`re not in a hustle, we`re not in a bustle
Don’t go tearing up the road
We`re not in a hurry, we`re not in a flurry
And we don`t have a very heavy load.
Horsey horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety clop
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound.
