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
