The other day I took a ride but not in a machine It was a buggy ride with my sweetie by my side I'm making love going fifty miles an hour don't compare with a one horse power Many cars I rode but give me a buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time No smell of gasoline Just an old fashioned theme It was a wonderful treat To hear the patter of horses' feet My bones were nearly broke I took it as a joke It was all new to me I didn't, I've been used to riding in a big limousine But buggy riding and loving sure beats any machine Although I lost my pride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time Now since I took that buggy ride that's all I wanna do No more machines for me there's a chance of hitting a tree Now let me give you some sensible advice A buggy ride is awfully nice 'Though it's not the style The ride sure is worth while, so Thanks for the buggy ride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time No smell of gasoline Just an old fashioned theme It was a wonderful treat To hear the patter of horses' feet My bones were nearly broke I took it as a joke It was all new to me I didn't know a horse could see so good in the dark He must have found a hundred different places to park Although I lost my pride Thanks for the buggy ride I had a wonderful time
