It's Pony Time!

It's pony time! And to celebrate the start of BreyerFest, here's a ditty by Chubby Checker called just that - Pony Time! 

I stumbled across this song by accident while looking at some of the musicians Music City Son Cole has worked with in Nashville, but it sure fits the way I am feeling this morning as I wait for BreyerFest to open at 10:00! (Lyrics below.)

Cole with Chubby Checker at IEBA a few years ago.

Happy BreyerFest, all!

Pony Time recorded by Chubby Checker, 1961, lyrics by John Berry and Don Covay

It's pony time, get up
Boogety, boogety, boogety shoo...

Hey now let's party with the union hall,
It's pony time when ya hear this call,
So get with it,
Don't quit it,
Get up.

Do the pony with your partner,
With a big boss line,
Well anyway ya do it,
You're gonna look real fine,
So get with it,
Don't quit it,
Get up.

Now ya turn to the left when I say gee,
You turn to the right when I say haw,
Now gee, ya ya baby,
Now haw, ya oh baby, oh baby, pretty baby,
Do it baby, oh baby, oh baby,
Boogety, boogety, boogety, boogety shoo.

Gonna see little Suzie, who lives next door,
She's doin' the pony, she's takin' the floor,
Eeea ah, so get with it, don't quit it, come on,
Boogety, boogety, boogety, boogety shoo.

Do the pony with your pardner,
Oh in a big boss line,
But anyway you do it,
You're gonna look just fine,
So get with, Don't quit it,
Come on. Eeeaaah

Now you turn to the left when I say gee,
You turn to the right when I say haw,
Now gee, ya ya little baby,
Now haw, ya oh baby, oh baby, pretty baby,
Do it baby, oh baby, oh baby,
Boogety, boogety, boogety, boogety shoo.
