Have You Heard the Don’t Stop Song?

Nursery rhyme songs have been around for generations for a reason. They work perfectly. The nursery rhyme songs' continual repetition is ideal for young brains attempting to retain words and learn to focus. Furthermore, the youngsters learn to pay attention from start to end and are introduced to the imaginative world of narrative. Even the youngest babies can relish nursery rhymes, and as you sing with them, you will see that they begin to connect with you. In this article, we will go through the rhyme “Horsey horsey, don't you stop”. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t waste time and move to the next section.

About the Rhyme “Horsey Horsey, Don't You Stop”

Paddy Roberts, Elton Box, Desmond Cox, and Ralph Butler wrote the original version of "Horsey! Horsey!" which was initially published in 1937 by The Sun Music Publishing Company in London. The chorus is the most well-known element of this children's sing-along tune. The Speks' version of the chorus is set to the tune of "The Rakes of Mallow," a popular Irish polka.

When a horse's rider or handler yells "giddy up!" the animal hurries up. Each time the coachman shouts "giddy up!", we sing "Horsey, Horsey" at a faster pace to mimic the horse's speed. At each tempo shift, we also add an extra voice. In the song's conclusion, we play the second half of "The Rakes of Mallow."

Lyrics of the Song “Horsey Horsey, Don’t You Stop”

The Horsey Song

Horsey horsey, don't you stop

Just let your feet go clippetty clop

Your tail goes swish

And the wheels go round

Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Farmer Grey's got a one-horse shay

He takes to town on market day

Coming home when

the lights are low

He sings his song

as away they go.

You don't need the whip

no goodness knows

You don't need the whip

so I'll take a doze alright

We ain't in a hustle,

We ain't in a bustle

So don't go tearing up the road

We ain't in a hurry,

We ain't in a flurry

And we ain't got a heavy load

Horsey, Horsey don't you stop

Just let your feet go clippetty clop

Your tail goes swish

And the wheels go round

Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Horsey horsey on your way

We've done that journey many a day

Your tail goes swish

And the wheels go round

Giddy up we're homeward bound.

You don't need the whip

No goodness knows

You don't need the whip

So I'll take a little doze alright

We ain't in a hustle,

We ain't in a bustle

So don't go tearing up the road

We ain't in a hurry,

We ain't in a flurry

And we ain't got a heavy load

Horsey horsey on your way

We've done this journey many a day

Your tail goes swish

And the wheels go round

Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Horsey horsey, don't you stop

Just let your feet go clippetty clop

Your tail goes swish

And the wheels go round

Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

You don't need the whip

no goodness knows

You don't need the whip

so I'll take a doze alright
