Thanks For The Buggy Ride

The other day I took a ride But not in a machine It was a buggy ride With my sweetie by my side Now making love and going fifty miles an hour Don't compare with the one horsepower Many cars I've tried But give me a buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time No smell of gasoline Just an old fashioned team It was a wonderful treat To hear the patter of horses' feet Five bones were nearly broke I took it as a joke It was all new to me 'Cause I was used to riding in a big limousine But buggy riding and loving surely beats any machine Now although I lost my pride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time Now since I took that buggy ride That's all I wanna do No more machines for me Taking chances of hitting a tree Let me give you some sensible advice A buggy ride is awfully nice Though it's not in the style The ride sure is worth while Thanks for the buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time I like to smell the hay And watch the chickens play I crave the colorful scene Where pigs are gambling on the green He sets an awful pace He couldn't win the race from an old fashioned snail I never knew a horse could see so good in the dark He must have found a hundred different places to park By gosh dern his pesky hide Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time Thanks for the buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time No smell of gasoline Just an old fashioned team It was a wonderful treat To hear the patter of horses' feet My bones were nearly broke I took it as a joke It was all new to me These fellas with their motorcycles hand me a laugh The girlie in the tub was likely taking a bath Still I'm more than satisfied Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time Wait for the wagon Wait for the wagon Wait for the wagon We'll all take a ride
