lyrics

He is none too bright, no
But he is a proud beast
And he knows how to get around, 'round, 'round, 'round
He is none too swift
But he is no slouch, no
When he's out of the gate his hoofs do pound
He may not be handsome
He may not be young
But he can lick all comers
With a wig wag of his tongue

Yippie-kai-yai-yay
Ride 'em high old horsey head
Yippie-kai-yai-yay
Ride 'em rough old horsey head
Yippie-kai-yai-yay

Well he is no thoroughbred
But he ain't no nag, no
And he can show you how it should be done, done
He is not that showy
He is nobody's prize, no
But in the final turn he is will always be number one
He may not be classy
He may not have the pedigree
But he will never let you down
Believe you me

He may not be Trigger
He may not be Black Stallion
But he wears his pride
Like a shiny medallion
