- Horsey, horsey don't you stop
- let your feet go clippety clop,
- So when your tail goes swish
- and your wheels go round,
- giddy up, we're homeward bound.
- Horsey horsey on your way
- We’ve got a journey of many a day
- So let your tail go swish
- and your wheels go round,
- giddy up, we're homeward bound."
- We ain’t in a hurry
- We ain’t in a flurry
- And we don’t go tearing down the road
- We ain’t in a hustle
- We ain’t in a bustle
- And we ain’t got a very heavy load
- I'm gonna take my horse and buggy
- I'm gonna travel all around
- I wanna hear those feet go clip clop
- I wanna see those wheels go round
- Horsey, horsey don't you stop
- Let your feet go clippety clop,
- So let your tail go swish
- and your wheels go round,
- giddy up, we're homeward bound.
