Harold Arlen — The Horse Won’t Talk Demo

The birds will sing From near and far As we go a-trotting up the boulevard Papa won’t scold Mama won’t squawk You’re safe in a buggy ‘Cause the horse won’t talk A horse may run A horse may walk But fortunately The horse won’t talk Let’s smooch, smooch, smooch And kiss, kiss, kiss No old gossip-puss Will know of this Alors, why bolt? Alors, why balk? We can’t have a scandal ‘Cause the horse won’t talk A horse may swish A horse may bray But all he’ll ever say Is neigh, neigh, neigh Clippy clop Clippy clop Life is sweet, Chéri Spring is on it’s way Snuggle up Snuggle up Ma petite Chéri This kind of way of love Ain’t hay So let’s not waste The evening hush The winds may whistle And the sky may blush But don’t be a fuddy-duddy And a gawk You can’t lose nothing ‘Cause the horse won’t talk
