Horsey Horsey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horsey, Horsey is a comedy song written in 1937 by Paddy Roberts, Elton Box, Desmond Cox and Ralph Butler, which was made popular by Jack Jackson, Billy Cotton and Henry Hall.[1] The chorus is mostly sung as a round and the verses not sung.

Ruth Madoc, as Gladys Pugh, sang the chorus in a 1982 episode of the BBC TV situation comedy, Hi-de-Hi! ("The Pay Off"), which was set in a holiday camp in the late 1950s.
