I said, giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Well now, I went ridin' the other night
I picked out a horse, oh, my what a sight
The name of my horse was a Ding Dong
While I was ridin' I was singin' a song
I said, giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
We rode and we rode the whole night through
The horse was tired and I was too
I had a date with my girl at eight
Come on Ding Dong, we can't be late
I said, giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
(Instrumental Break)
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, a Ding Dong
Come on horse, let's roll along

As recorded by TOMMY STEELE:
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up Ding Dong
I went ridin' the other night
Picked out a horse and, oh, my what a sight
The name of my horse was Ding Dong
While I was aboard I kept singin' this song
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up Ding Dong
We went ridin' the whole night through
The horse was tired and I was too
Come on Ding Dong, well you can't be late
............... Have a date
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up Ding Dong
One two!
(Saxophone Solo)
I said giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up Ding Dong

As recorded by ALEX HARVEY:
Come on folks, and get in the groove, we gotta move......
I went ridin' the other night
Two colour horse, oh my what a sight!
The name of my horse was Ding Dong
While I was ridin' and singin' a song
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
We rode and we rode the whole night through
My horse was tired, I was too
I had a date with ma girl at eight
Come on Ding Dong, we can't be late
I said giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Got to her house and I got down
There was the toughest guy in town
If I went in, he might use force
I mounted up again and I said to my horse
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You got to giddy up a Ding dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
