The Horse Won’t Talk (Demo) Lyrics by Harold Arlen

Gay Purr-ee (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1962

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
