Old Fashioned Buggy Ride 1907

Ev'ry day in the year
when the weather is clear,
I go out in an automobile,
As I spin down the line
with my sweet baby mine
Just imagine how happy we feel,
but my grand father dear
Looked at me with a sneer
then he said as his eyes danced with joy,
"All your new fangled ways
are not in it these days
with the way I made love when a boy."

You may talk of your Mollies and trolleys
and your automobile honey moon
They are all very fine
but if you have the time,
There's a far better way you can spoon.
Take a walk to a nice liv'ry stable,
Get a horse that you don't have to guide.
You're at ease, no one sees,
you can squeeze all you please,
On an oldfashioned buggy ride.

You may talk of your Mollies and trolleys
and your automobile honey moon
They are all very fine
but if you have the time,
There's a far better way you can spoon.
Take a walk to a nice liv'ry stable,
Get a horse that you don't have to guide.
You're at ease, no one sees,
you can squeeze all you please,
On an oldfashioned buggy ride.

We said: "Grand Dad, you're late,
you are way out of date
why, the auto's the thing of today,"
Then we turned on the pow'r
and in just half an hour
we were thirty or more miles away.
But there soon came a flash
and a terrible crash
then we worked on the thing half the night.
All the kids on the course
Hollered out: "Get a horse."
and we said: "I guess grand dad was right."

You may talk of your Mollies and trolleys
and your automobile honey moon
They are all very fine
but if you have the time,
There's a far better way you can spoon.
Take a walk to a nice liv'ry stable,
Get a horse that you don't have to guide.
You're at ease, no one sees,
you can squeeze all you please,
On an oldfashioned buggy ride.

You may talk of your Mollies and trolleys
and your automobile honey moon
They are all very fine
but if you have the time,
There's a far better way you can spoon.
Take a walk to a nice liv'ry stable,
Get a horse that you don't have to guide.
You're at ease, no one sees,
you can squeeze all you please,
On an oldfashioned buggy ride.
