A Genius, Of Course
I got a horse, he's a genius, of course
He moves at least a hundred different ways
He's a dancer, he's a prancer
He can move any way you can say
He can take steps light as a bird
The kind of steps that can't be heard
He can take steps like an elephant stomps
Hear his hard and heavy hooves clomp
He knows how to draw circles and squares
By waving his tail in the air
He can collapse and jump up from the fall
And hardly make a sound at all
I got a horse, he's a genius, of course
He moves at least a hundred different ways
He's a dancer, he's a prancer
He can move any way you can say
He can run straight right on a line
And suddenly stop on a dime
He can run curves flowing with ease
And circle wherever you please
Just when you think he's sound asleep
He suddenly jumps or leaps
But ring the old bell and he'll move about
Smoothly and easily 'til the sound dies out
I got a horse, he's a genius, of course
He's astoundin'...
...Gather 'round him
And see this wonder horse who's a genius, of course
