But Marni said, “Get up, horsie!” for she wanted to go too. So Mother took hold of the handle and went:

Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
And Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog!

And the wheels they went:

Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
And Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round!

And then Mother was tired. So she stopped, and Marni said, “Whoa, horsie!”

Then Little Aa said, “Ugh, ugh!” for he wanted to go. But Marni said “Get up, horsie!” for she wanted to go too. So Mother took hold of the handle and went,

Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
And Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog, jog, jog, jog,
Jog!

And the wheels they went:

Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
And Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round,
Round!
