Horsey Horsey Don't You Stop
1937 
UK Lyrics
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.
Horsey, horsey, on your way,
We've done the journey for many a day.
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up! We're homeward bound.
Just let your feet go clippety-clop.
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up! We're homeward bound.
Horsey, horsey, on your way,
We've done the journey for many a day.
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up! We're homeward bound.
History and Meaning
This cheerful action rhyme, perfect for bouncing a toddler on your knee, is a relatively modern addition compared to many traditional nursery rhymes. "Horsey Horsey Don't You Stop" galloped onto the scene around 1937-1938, penned by the songwriters Ralph Butler and Billy Mayerl. Parents usually bounce children along on their knee as they sing the song.
