My mother and her sister were going over old times the other night and they were trying to remember the lyrics to the song, Horsey Keep Your Tail Up. I actually found a midi to it but no lyrics. I also know that Spike Jones sang it at one time. The date on it is 1923. I have not been here at mudcat for nearly a year and a half but I knew someone out there could help us. Thanks in advance for your help.

...I refried the old thread (click) and I wonder if the "master of the mudcat universe" (you know who you are) can find it on one of his sarch engines...hg
