(scat)
Clickety clack along the track
That's taken me back to you;
I've had enough, the going's rough,
You're callin' my bluff, I'm through!
No good on my own, I should have known,
So giddy up mare and get me home,
Now that I'm sane, I'm longin' again for you!

Clickety clack, when I get back,
We'll live in a shack or two.
I've had enough, the going's rough,
And darlin', alone I'm blue!
For Cupid's dart has found my heart,
And goin' away was not so smart!
Clickety clack, I'm on the way back to you!

(Come on, get along there!)
Clickety clack along the track
That's taken me back to you;
I've had enough, the goin's rough,
You're callin' my bluff, I'm through!
No good on my own, I should have known,
So giddy up mare and get me home,
Now that I'm sane, I'm longin' again for you!

Clickety clack, when I get back,
We'll live in a shack or two.
I've had enough, I'm not so tough,
And darlin', alone I'm blue!
For Cupid's dart has found my heart,
And goin' away was not so smart!
Clickety clack, I'm on the way back to you!
Yes, Cupid's dart has found my heart,
And goin' away was not so smart!
Clickety clack, I'm on the way back to you!
Clickety clack, I'm on the way back to you...
