she pranced up beside him and nodded neigh neigh

white socks were a dancin entrancin

her mane tossed his eye to a tail with a sway

the others I'll bite em and kick em away

so they learn who is rulin this rovin today

and I'll find her a corner with plenty of hay

and the neigh will defray in a quorum ok

neigh

she wants a new paddock a fence and a dray

so he gallops around just to say its ok

the fence must be high just as high as I say

and as for a showroomless dray...no way!

so he trots up the bank for a harness of dray

and a spread for a lavish exquisite oat hay

and the bent of the bay to relent shall we say

meant the stamp duty came with a bray

with a bray

and the stamp duty came with a bray
