Trotting Quickly
This song, with a traditional tune, is about a Delhi pony cart driver. The original lyrics ask the pony to gallop quickly on a hot day but, being a softy horse-lover, I made up a new set of words that ask him to trot instead, with a promise of dinner underneath a shady tree. The 'trotting quickly' choruses need to be sung with energy but the 'It's a long way' and 'When we're home' verses need to sound tired.
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
- __
- It's a long way and we're tired
- We have had a busy day
- __
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
- __
- When we're home you'll have your dinner
- Underneath a shady tree
- __
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
- Trotting quickly, quickly, quickly
- Trotting quickly little horse
