Horsey Horsey (Audio Sample and Lyrics)
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

Background notes
You can use this simple nursery rhyme to get a group of children moving with some easy actions:
Horsey horsey, don't you stop
Just let your feet
=> children break into a trot
go clippetty clop
=> stamp their feet
Your tail goes swish
=> shake their hands
And the wheels go round
=> circulate their arms
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.
You don't need the whip
no goodness knows
=> steering and whipping
You don't need the whip
so I'll take a doze alright
=> children break into a trot again until the next verse starts.
