HORSEY! KEEP YOUR TAIL UP!
(Walter Hirsch / Bert Kaplan)
As sung by the Chubb-Steinberg Orchestra of Cincinnati
On Okeh 40107-B, recorded Oct 10, 1924.

Now Reuben's wife she was so silly, she never wore her hat.
Why, though the sun was shining, she didn't give a darn about that,
But you could see them driving in their buggy ev'ry day,
And Reuben, he would lean way back and you'd hear his wifey say:

"Oh horsey, keep your tail up. Keep your tail up. Keep your tail up.
Oh horsey, keep your tail up. Why don't you make it right?
Tell me how you get that way. You mean yes and say 'Nay, nay.' [or "Neigh, neigh"]
Oh horsey, keep your tail up. Keep the sun out of my eyes."
